In this series, familiar pastoral scenes are disrupted by moments of quiet unease. Figures meander through the countryside with their dogs, whose alertness often contrasts with their owners’ oblivion. The work plays with the visual language of rural idyll and soft suspense, evoking the slow-burn tension of genre fiction. Wryly observant, the paintings draw from crime tropes and narrative conventions, gently poking at the odd theatricality of discovery. Through a blend of the everyday and the uncanny, they explore the choreography between human and animal, presence and perception, routine and rupture.
