"Written in Stone" is a marble floppy disk on a floating shelf the colour of the original IBM computer. It encapsulates the tension between permanence and ephemerality in the digital age. By rendering this symbol of 1980s innovation in stone—a material synonymous with timelessness—the piece transforms a tool of obsolescence into a monument to memory and progress.

Written in Stone

A serene fusion of movement and tranquility, Grace and Stillness captures a figure suspended in a moment of quiet elegance. Set against a soft, blueish background that evokes the fluidity of water, the composition radiates a sense of calm and weightlessness. The delicate posture of the body, accentuated by gentle lighting, creates a mesmerizing contrast between form and the ethereal backdrop. Like a ripple in still waters, this piece invites the viewer to lose themselves in its peaceful, dreamlike atmosphere.

  

Grace and stillness

This painting is a simplified, childlike figure sitting criss-cross-apple-sauce. The figure is enraptured with what it is looking at, almost begging the viewer to join in its rapture. The muted peach and orange tones are meant to evoke child-like innocence and surrender. The head is a rectangular box in light orange with simple features: two small circles for eyes and small teeth for a mouth. The head is missing its lower jaw, it is no longer needed. The body is a rounded shape with X's for nipples and an oval for a navel. The short, stubby arms end in hand-like shapes with orange accents for fingernails, while the toenails are similarly simple, with orange accents.

The style is naive, with no detailed perspective or realistic anatomy. It is meant to feel innocent and simple, reminiscent of childhood and saturday morning cartoons in front of the box setup. The background is a blend of orange and pale yellow and off-white, to create a peaceful atmosphere. The edges are slightly distressed, with orange paint spilling onto the frame. 

  
The overall mood is meant to be quiet and reflective, evoking a serene, slightly melancholic stillness.

Eurythms (installation detail)

A fragment of pleasure.

These sculptural candle holders embody a dialogue between **materiality and process**, capturing the moment of substance solidification in an organic, almost fluid form. 

  
Balancing between **utility and artistic expression**, they transform a traditional object into a tactile experience where imperfection becomes an aesthetic principle. Light and fire interact with the form, emphasizing its plasticity and transience, inviting the viewer into a meditative contemplation.

Self-Portrait

_„… every map displays a specific world; so does it display the world as it is, as it was, as it will be, as it could be, or as it should be?“_ (Christian Jacob: Towards a Cultural History of Cartography, 1996)

  
One of the peculiar phenomena of European science, literature and art since the 19th century is the persistent presence of figures who work as field surveyors and who optionally measure or redesign the topography of real and fictional spaces. Mapping becomes an external reality and archival device for objective knowledge and reality. _„Maps are statements about the physical nature of the world, its shape and its limits. They display beliefs or concepts about the nature of the world and how it can be depicted.“_ (Christian Jacob) The works of this series are playing with several respective ideas of the predictability, representability and controllability (or uncontrollability) of the world. 

The so called „fractal landscapes“ are based on a computer generated algorithm of surfaces that imitates the appearance of a natural terrain, which was first introduced by Benoit Mandelbrot in the late 70´s. The technique of carving in these woodcuts also correspond with the so called Perlin Noise, a type of gradient noise used in computer graphics.

It is a macro photograph of a rose from my garden, presented in ultra HD print behind acrylic glass (perspex) in various sizes.

The transcendent beauty, purity and sensuality of the rose come alive in this format, delicately mirroring the corresponding Inner Qualities of the viewer.

Mirror Image of my Heart

**Series: Ephemeral Sculptures**

  
**About Series:**

I feel that everything I do in my life is ephemeral. So are my sculptures. But these sculptures are not about me really, but the world around me. Falling into pieces. Ruins of nature, humanity and dreams that holds together just because we made it that way. Forged by our own will against the odds. Just to keep illusion for one more moment, and enjoy its glorious decay why it holds. Is all we have. Our world. Unstable, unreal, falling apart as we watching.

Series of balancing sculptures, position of elements is dictated by the balance and may and will fall apart while exhibited, making this a part of the experience, witnessing the destruction of the world in the galley. For me it is rather an illusion of the sculpture than the sculpture itself.

  
**Sculpture: After Typhoon**

  
**About Sculpture:** 

After any strong storm (umbrella rod) there is always a path to rebuild (coins) (screw) an old word (roots) intro the new perspective (camera lens crystal).

  

After Typhoon

Instead of a simple contrast between honesty and deception, GENTLE LIEING seems to explore the quiet, almost graceful nature of certain falsehoods—those that are whispered rather than shouted, the ones that don’t strike like a violent storm but seep in like mist.

SELF PORTRAIT

Warhol's persona and work were deeply intertwined with concepts of celebrity, surveillance, and the blending of public and private lives. By depicting Warhol in this manner, Shanoor emphasizes his complex relationship with fame and his tendency to obscure his own identity while capturing the images of others.

Large, multicoloured abstract artwork.

Explore abstract artwork with my latest piece. It is a painting that I completed having taken an abstract art course. One that was aimed to release my inner child and help me create more honestly and freely. I'd like to think that with the help of Rose Hewartson I have had someone holding my hand and guiding me through my recovery. From the moment I came home not knowing whether I would ever paint again. To the incredible feeling of honesty and freedom that comes with creating a piece of work from your heart. I am hopefully freer and less fearful than I was before. I really hope that it shows.
