This ongoing series of black-and-white drawings and sculptures investigates the nature of exploration, both external and internal, through a deliberately limited yet expressive visual vocabulary. Using ink on paper, the work embraces accidents, fluidity, and tonal ambiguity to challenge the binary of black and white and to reveal the nuanced spectrum in between.
Genderless human forms recur across the series, portrayed in acts of seeking, transformation, and quiet introspection. In some works, figures reach meditative thresholds; in others, they traverse dreamlike dimensions. The expansion from two-dimensional drawings into sculptural forms echoes the series’ conceptual interest in crossing perceptual boundaries and entering new modes of being.
By blending abstraction and figuration, Not All Who Wander Are Lost reflects a search for meaning within uncertainty, and a visual meditation on duality,  and the quiet persistence of the seeker.​​​​​​​
