As a child, I felt the weight of the world, other people's emotions, quiet tensions, unspoken histories. These impressions accumulated, sometimes overwhelming, sometimes tender. Now, as an adult, I work through what I absorb on canvas. Painting becomes the only way to express what cannot be put into words. Fragmented Memories explores how memory, emotion, and perception fracture over time. The faces and figures in these paintings are not portraits of specific people, but emotional impressions, partial identities shaped by remembered encounters and absorbed feelings. Rendered through expressionistic distortion, the figures emerge, shift, and dissolve, mirroring the instability of memory itself. As an empathic person, I experience the world through heightened emotional awareness. Expressions, body language, and subtle shifts in mood often register more deeply than spoken narratives. These sensations accumulate as fragments, sometimes vivid, sometimes blurred, that surface visually rather than verbally. Painting becomes a way to process and release these impressions, allowing emotion to guide form, color, and gesture. The fragmentation is intentional. It reflects how memory reshapes people and moments, and how empathy can blur the boundary between self and other. In this work, fragmentation is not a loss, but a language, one that acknowledges vulnerability, sensitivity, and the complexity of human connection. These fragments are not something to be fixed or completed, but honored as they are. The work becomes a shared space where feeling is allowed to exist without explanation. By engaging with the emotional residue embedded in the paint, viewers may find permission to honor their own emotional landscapes to recognize their fragments, their sensitivity, their unfinished memories. To sit with what is unresolved, and to know they are not alone in carrying their inner worlds. |
