Re-Strata

Excavated from Earth, Processed through Industry, reformed back into stone

This work isn’t meant to change how buildings are constructed or suggest that architecture give up durability, precision, or control. Within the realities of building—where surfaces are repaired and materials are stabilized—it instead acts as a reference point. Re-Strata asks “what comes after design’s constant push toward the new, the next, the fashionable?” Materials do not stop changing once construction is finished; they continue to crack, settle, harden, and shift over time. Rather than freezing materials at a preferred moment, the work acknowledges this ongoing process through form and surface. Through a deeper engagement with material origin, the surfaces contrast the flattened, standardized versions common to construction with forms that recall where those materials come from—lime returning to coral-like and geological expression, matter revealing its source rather than appearing neutral. Set within environments that must remain fixed, these surfaces offer a different relationship to time. When spaces stop demanding attention, stop signaling novelty, and stop advertising taste, they create a quiet. In that quiet, reflection, orientation, presence, and internal reordering can naturally occur.

“Designed for hospitality, residential and architectural interiors where surface is meant to hold a presence within a space”

How this works:

Each mural composition is developed by the artist in direct response to its architectural context—scale, light, material adjacency, and spatial flow. The process begins with a physical sample board, where textures and material expressions are developed and reviewed under real lighting conditions. This board guides the final composition, giving clients a clear, hands-on way to understand how the mural will take shape within the space.
