Melt

Melt captures transformation as both loss and creation. A heart hangs suspended, heavy and exposed, its form beginning to soften and drip as if it can no longer contain itself. What falls from it is not simply matter, but identity. Each drop marking the slow erosion of what once felt solid and familiar.

From beneath the dripping heart, a face begins to surface. It emerges quietly, almost accidentally, shaped by what is being shed above it. This new form is not fully defined, suggesting uncertainty and disorientation, as though the self is being rewritten without consent. The Void here acts as a catalyst, dissolving the old while giving rise to something unfamiliar in its place.

The piece reflects the unsettling realization that prolonged immersion in darkness does not leave you unchanged. Melt speaks to the gradual nature of this transformation. The way you don’t notice yourself slipping away until pieces of you have already become something else. It is a meditation on losing oneself in the Void, and on the quiet fear that what emerges afterward may no longer feel like you.
