I Walk the Earth Ad Lucem
“Every act of destruction is also an act of creation. To destroy is to open up a space to clear a path for something new.”
-Gilles Deleuze, “Difference and Repetition,” 1968
I Walk the Earth examines transformation, memory, and the quiet dialogue between destruction and renewal. The series began as an act of erasure—tearing apart earlier works that no longer felt resolved. Yet within the fragments, I discovered traces of life: images of family, past projects, and forgotten gestures that invited reconstruction.
By reassembling these remnants, the work becomes a meditation on time’s passage and the persistence of the spiritual that exists within change. Each piece carries the imprint of what came before, revealing how creation and loss coexist within the same gesture.
The process mirrors natural cycles of decay and regeneration, suggesting that nothing is ever truly gone—only transformed. In reworking the remains of the past, I seek to honor impermanence and to find quiet renewal in what endures.
