Painting on canvas - ZIP #1 inaugurates the series with an essential and powerful gesture. Set against a light, rough, and material surface—reminiscent of a timeless wall—a chromed zip with a metallic sheen is inserted. The slit, marked by an incised rhythm within the matter, becomes a symbolic zipper: a boundary that guards, separates, and protects.
The zip thus turns into a metaphor for the relationship between interiority and the external world, between what we choose to reveal and what we prefer to withhold. It is threshold and filter, scar and structure—a site where restrained emotions, invisible tensions, and stratified memories converge.
