The Landscape drawing series begins with the extraction and archiving of linear elements found in natural environments— directional growth patterns, erosion lines, and other incidental traces formed by landscape processes. These lines are isolated from their original spatial and ecological contexts and reorganized on the drawing surface as an independent structural system.
Rather than depicting a scene, the work reconstructs a new visual organization from accumulated fragments. The collected lines act as data: residues of natural movement, pressure, and geological or botanical rhythms. Through reassembly, the drawings form a speculative topography that reflects neither the real landscape nor a fictional one, but the logic produced by the lines themselves when removed from their source and reconfigured.
In continuity with earlier projects that treat gestures, stones, and surfaces as archives, this series understands the landscape as a distributed recording apparatus. Each line carries an index of time and contact, and the drawing becomes a secondary archive—a field where natural traces are reordered, compressed, and given a new operational coherence. The act of drawing functions less as representation and more as an analytical procedure that reorganizes environmental residues into a new material grammar.
