The objects in OFF extend beyond the boundaries of the work, interrupted by its edges as though the composition continues outside the frame.
What remains visible is only a portion of a larger story. Like memory itself, we never hold the whole of someone we have loved...only fragments that persist, shaped as much by absence as by presence.

Materials & Characteristics
Vegetable-tanned leather is a natural material that retains the marks, scars, wrinkles, and variations accumulated throughout the animal's life. These characteristics are intentionally preserved rather than concealed, allowing each piece to retain the authenticity of the material. Minor surface variations, impressions, and tonal shifts are not imperfections—they are an integral part of the work and ensure that no two pieces can ever be identical.
