A layered textured painting composed with “imperfect” balance in mind.

Strata comes from the Latin word stratum, meaning “a layer” or “something spread out.” Originally used in geology to describe the natural bands of earth formed over time, the term has come to suggest not just physical layering, but the quiet accumulation of history—each layer holding traces of what came before.
