This series of works began with a simple note I wrote on an A4 sheet of paper a few years ago. The note said, "Leave the World Alone." A few months later, I scanned it and began processing it in Photoshop. I don't remember why I wrote this message. All the images in this series are the result of manipulating the image with the note. Initially, I superimposed the lines of the letters until they resembled an asemic text. After that, I began to deconstruct the image; the lines turned into traces—signs of something erased, no longer visible. Finally, at the last stage of the process, no image remained—nothing to see, only a canvas-like texture, leaving the field of perception bare. The images became layers of emptiness with minimal information, and the process itself evolved into one of elimination, a journey into nothingness.
