The Wind’s Tithe (triptych)

Oil on three hinged cradled wood panels

243.84 × 121.92 cm (96 x 48 in)

Some processes unfold without a witness. They begin quietly, intensify briefly, and disperse without appeal.

Each panel records a stage held just long enough to be recognized, then released. Growth, flare, and dispersal proceed without negotiation. The wind does not pause. It does not recover what it takes.

This is not a sequence of loss, but of inevitability. What passes through the cycle does not return to its previous form.

What is retained here is the interval, the moment before separation becomes irreversible.
