"Bearing Marks," a series of black ink drawings on canvas, looks at what stays after change. Moving between countries, languages, and environments creates constant shifts. Some things don't disappear. They stay in the body, in memory. 

This body of work sits between two logics. On one side, immigration, where identity keeps adapting. On the other, tattooing, where a mark is permanent and can't be undone. Tattooing changed how the artist understands drawing. It becomes part of the body, carries weight over time. It takes a decision, and it stays. 

The same logic shows up on the surface here. The black ink builds up over time, layer after layer, a record of what happened, where each line adds to something that can't be erased. "Bearing Marks" is about that coexistence: about what moves, and what remains.
