The Art of Ascendance
“Collage involves the collision of different images and ideas, creating a dialogue between them that reveals something new and often surprising.”
— John Stezaker
This body of work, composed of analogue collage, explores the human desire to rise, to lift beyond the weight of the everyday and toward something just out of reach.
Drawing on found imagery and hand-cut elements, each composition considers the longing for flight as both a physical and emotional state. Figures, wings, and atmospheric forms are layered with care, suggesting the fragile yet persistent pull toward elevation. These works hold a quiet tension between gravity and grace, groundedness and transcendence.
The process of collage, selecting, cutting, and assembling, becomes an act of ascendance in itself, a way of piecing together fragments of hope, memory, and imagination. At their heart, these collages reflect the longing for lightness, for freedom, and for the small, personal moments that lift us.
