About the Work

ID ENTITY is a multi-part work organised around the historical and material persistence of the colour blue. Blue is treated not as symbol but as a carrier of duration - its shifts in use, value, and density registering across time rather than meaning. The work holds blue as a chromatic residue that circulates between devotion, authority, distance, and withdrawal.

Historical strata are present without chronology. References to pigment, textile, and image circulate alongside contemporary image production, forming a field where repetition replaces narrative. Blue operates as a stabilising ground through which self-relation and projection are tested but not resolved.

The work incorporates photography, text, and sound without hierarchy. Media function as parallel surfaces rather than expressive layers. Voice and image are held in proximity while refusing synthesis. Reflection is maintained as condition, not subject.

ID ENTITY sustains a controlled field in which colour, repetition, and mediated presence remain active without consolidation, allowing continuity to emerge through restraint and withholding.
