Assembled Evidence

Devaraj Southworth began his formal practice in 2024. Across three bodies of work, a single question persists: what survives, and what is made to remain.

Aerosol surfaces embed physical fragments — leaves, tags, medical remnants, found text — held within layered fields. Each work operates as a record of accumulation, interruption, and retention.

The Mark

Each work carries a small iguana.

Not a signature, but a marker of presence.

Patience. Adaptation. Survival through attention.
