Papercuts

I began papercutting after discovering that the pressure required to guide an X-Acto knife quieted the tremors in my hands. The blade allowed me to draw with absence, creating clear, flowing lines by removing rather than adding material.

Over time, the practice became a way of exploring the fractal nature of existence—the recurring patterns that connect thought, behavior, relationships, ecosystems, and the physical world. Each cut reveals not only what is present, but also the significance of what has been removed. In this way, papercutting becomes both meditation and inquiry: a process of uncovering hidden connections and tracing the intricate, wholistic patterns that bind the visible and invisible aspects of life.
