Kormós / Korm(o)í is a series of drawings in which fragments of trees and humans encounter one another: tree trunks without roots and human faces without bodies. Organic forms appear calm and still, yet at the same time like breathing parts of a larger system—suspended, partial, between presence and absence.
In Greek, the word kormós (pl. kormoí) refers both to the trunk of a tree and to the torso of the human body. The word kormí means body. This linguistic proximity forms the conceptual axis of the work.
The series moves between similarity and absolute singularity. Like trees within the same forest, the forms appear related, yet never repeat themselves. Faces and trunks emerge, transform, and disappear again within an open field of lines and emptiness.
The fragmented becomes an encounter.
