About Artwork:
Dot as Presence belongs to Grammar of Symbols, a series of original silkscreen prints investigating how symbols acquire different functions through their position and relationships within space.
In 12 Inner Symbols, the Dot exists as a concentrated sign of impulse, beginning and potential. Here, it acquires another function: presence.
Unlike a point that generates growth or accumulates traces, this dot establishes a position within the surrounding field.
Other forms approach, surround or respond to it, yet the central point remains distinct. Its significance emerges not from movement or repetition, but from the spatial relationships it creates.
The composition explores the difference between isolation and presence. A point can exist independently without being disconnected from the larger structure.
Within the graphic language of silkscreen printing, the relationship between the central mark, surrounding forms and empty space becomes especially important. The absence of movement allows position itself to carry meaning.
Presence does not require movement. It requires a place within the whole.
In Dot as Presence, the symbol becomes a spatial reference through which the surrounding field can be understood. Its function is no longer to begin or preserve, but simply to be present.
