THE TIGER WILL HELP YOU

What survives the act of erasure?

In this intricate field of mark-making, language is obscured, crossed through, and reworked—until only fragments remain: tiger, will help you. These words surface like signals through noise, guiding the viewer across a dense terrain of lines, gestures, and interruptions.

Rooted in an emerging artist’s lifelong practice of drawing, text, and redaction poetry, the work transforms removal into revelation. Each strike-through becomes a decision, each retained word a point of tension between clarity and ambiguity.

A map of thought, instinct, and revision—where meaning is never fixed, only uncovered.
