'the rust of the soul'

Time leaves its mark—corroding, gilding, transforming. The Rust of the Soul explores this duality through textile, gilding, and wire, where decay becomes a quiet beauty. Scarred textures and looping wire trace the passage of experience, echoing both fragility and endurance. Rust, often seen as ruin, here emerges as a mark of evolution—a patina of memory. Gold leaf clings to the surface, a reminder that even in wear and imperfection, something precious endures. This work holds time’s tension: where loss becomes texture, and weathered souls reveal their quiet glow.
