Large-format panels that evoke the floating world of Eastern theater. Hand-painted on cotton, they unfold a choreography of lotuses amidst hypnotic swirls, a graphic language reminiscent of Japanese ukiyo-e. Their verticality suggests a suspended stage set, like a fragment of a curtain or ritual screen.
