A monochromatic painting is built through layering a range of paint hues to create depth and complexity. Each stroke is meticulously applied then followed by translucent glazes that gently wash over the surface, pooling in crevices and cascading over edges. This meticulous process allows Mansur to achieve a delicate equilibrium, where colors simultaneously emerge and retreat. Embedded within the painting are circular resin sculptures that inundate the work with changing reflections. Observers circling the work witness subtle changes: once-muted circles awaken, emitting a soft glow that hints at hidden depths. Their surfaces possess a duality -- both waxy and reflective, they invite contemplation amidst a veil of uncertainty. The work echoes the geological process of land formation, where layers of terrain evolve over time, undergoing excavation, alteration, and eventual transformation.
