In this body of work, Crnjak explores the forest as both subject and metaphorical structure. Inspired by natural environments as well as screen-based, hyper-mediated spaces, the paintings investigate the ephemeral nature of perception and time as non-linear and deeply tied to memory and body. Through a balance of systematic inquiry and intuitive discovery, the exhibition invites sustained looking, where perception unfolds over time and meaning is suspended for a deeper experience of time and presence. Rather than depicting fixed images, these paintings stimulate spaces that exist between memory and anticipation, where direct observation and mediated perception quietly converge
