I'm not what I was, things aren't what they were
Description
"I'm Not What I Was. Things Aren't What They Were" by Willem Boronski explores transition and layering. Charcoal lines sketch faint figures climbing stairs, their forms barely tangible, caught between fading and emerging.
By scratching through the paint, Boronski reveals hidden layers of colour, creating a sense of depth and uncovering what lies beneath. This technique reinforces the idea of physically and conceptually layering where the past lingers within the present.
The combination of pale blue tones, rough textures, and fragile climbing movements evokes constant change. The title reflects this dynamic: nothing remains as it was, and traces of what once existed are only partially visible. The work invites the viewer to experience the tension between decay and growth, between what is lost and revealed.Try it!
