Painting Installation — Diploma Project
Self-Regulation explores painting as a process of care, repetition, and presence. Through a self-defined protocol, the act of painting becomes a personal ritual, creating space for observation, physical engagement, and the negotiation of emotional states.
Working with acrylic paint on canvas supported by wooden panels, the process relies on movement, gravity, and the physical manipulation of the surface. The rhythm and intensity of each action may vary, while the established structure remains consistent, allowing the work to develop without the need for constant decision-making or a predetermined outcome.
Repetition becomes a form of self-regulation, where the focus shifts from the final image to the experience of making. Rather than offering a fixed interpretation, the installation approaches painting as an ongoing exercise in presence, exploring the relationship between the body, material, and the passage of time.
