The Shore That Never Was, 2026
Watercolour on paper
45 × 80 cm each
Series of four works

The Shore That Never Was explores the space between landscape, memory and imagination. Through houses, trees and their reflections in water, familiar scenes are transformed into quiet, dreamlike places. The reflections create a sense of another reality—somewhere that feels familiar, but may never have existed.
