Follaje began with an abstract form that evoked nature—not as a direct observation of a landscape, but as something remembered. The painted lines suggest a path, a branch, a river, or the contours of a landscape, yet resist settling into a single image. Like memory itself, they shift between recognition and abstraction.

The gathered canvas surrounding the painting extends this space beyond its edges. It becomes a continuation of the image—a garden of thoughts and memories that continues to unfold beyond the painted surface, where recollections overlap, distort, and transform over time. What lies beyond the frame becomes as important as what remains within it.

Here, painting begins to move beyond the picture plane. Material carries its own presence, and the boundary between the artwork and the space around it starts to dissolve, inviting the viewer to imagine what exists just beyond the frame.
