About Artwork:
Dot as Memory belongs to Grammar of Symbols, a series of original silkscreen prints exploring how the function of a symbol changes through its relationships within a visual structure.
In 12 Inner Symbols, the Dot represents impulse, beginning and potential. Here, its function changes: the point becomes a trace of experience.
Through repetition, individual marks accumulate, overlap and form relationships. Some gather into dense constellations, while others remain isolated within the surrounding field.
Together, they create a visual map of lived experience. Memory appears not as a continuous narrative, but as a structure of traces, intervals and connections.
The dot retains its basic form, yet its meaning changes through accumulation. What was once a single point becomes part of a larger system in which the past remains present.
The graphic language of silkscreen printing brings repeated marks and spatial relationships into a unified visual field, where individual traces become part of a collective structure.
Memory is not a single trace, but the structure formed by what remains.
Through this transformation, Dot as Memory reveals how repetition turns an individual sign into a visual record of experience.
