00 / Approach

I am interested in the moment a line stops being a mark and begins to hold space.

Across the work

Space in
Translation

From folded modules to sectional collage, a first-semester archive follows one recurring gesture as it learns to become threshold, room, and route.

Just Like
Thunder

A figure, a red guitar, and a current of restless blue. The paired poem carries the work beyond the edge of the small canvas.

The
Reader

A quiet interior of blue cloth, red curtain, patterned floor, and a black cat keeping watch—an ordinary scene made ceremonial.

03 / About

Suprabha Kharel is an artist and architecture student at the University of New Mexico’s School of Architecture + Planning.

Her practice moves between hand and model, observation and atmosphere. Paintings, watercolors, drawings, spatial studies, digital renderings, and process films are held together by a curiosity for how memory takes form.
