The Study of Time

The “Study of Time” series is not just a visual exploration—it’s an endurance ritual, a quiet rebellion against speed and distraction.

Each piece begins with a blank 18 x 24 inch (45.72cm x 60.96cm) board and a pen—no rules, no plan. Just hand, eye, and breath. What follows is the slow accumulation of tens of thousands of 1cm-long lines, each one drawn approximately 1mm apart from the next. Depending on the density and pattern, a single work can hold anywhere between 25,000 and 50,000 individual marks.

The process is deceptively simple and deeply consuming. As the lines multiply, time begins to dissolve. What remains is presence.

With repetition comes a rhythm, and with rhythm—a mirror. The pen becomes a seismograph of the mind. When calm, it draws thin and deliberate lines, evenly spaced. In moments of stress or distraction, the lines grow uneven, the pressure heavier, the stroke thicker or skewed. No correction. No editing. The emotion is recorded as-is.

They emerge intuitively, often shaped by geometric patterns, topographical echoes, or imagined landscapes. Yet their essence lies not in the image itself, but in the act of their becoming.

Each line is a breath. Each painting, a meditation. A study not just of time—but of being.
