Graphite. It's about visibility.
Monochrome. Pure in itself.
Self-sufficient.
Pigment, lying on the surface, carries its own independent power and life.
Powder that cannot be held if it does not want to stay.
There is something sacred about it — alchemy that transforms the invisible into form, the fleeting into the eternal.
Taking the pigment powder in hand, skin meets mind.
Tactility begins where distance ends.
Running one's fingertips, open palm, cheek.
Nothing is fixed.
The material chooses its depth.
The canvas is not stretched — it remains alive, breathing freely.
This is how a new series of works was born, united under the name Second Skin.
It's about dust, the powder that decides to stay, entering the canvas without residue.
