Human: The Familiar Stranger

---

I depict anonymous figures—seen from behind, walking, or seated—who linger briefly within ordinary urban scenes. They are not protagonists, but familiar yet unexplained presences that settle quietly into color and structure, remaining at the margins rather than the center.

The human figure is treated not as a narrative subject but as a transient element within a static space charged with condensed time—the stillness before a story begins or after it has ended. Through muted palettes, softened contours, and fragmented compositions, my work approaches not representation, but the emotional temperature of an encounter. Familiar strangeness runs throughout this body of work, inviting viewers to project their own memories and sensations into the subtle distance between human presence and everyday space.
