Fine Art Prints
Wrapped in Absence
This body of work navigates the quiet, often invisible terrain of loss as experienced through the lens of war. It contemplates the enduring wounds left by trauma, those carved not only into flesh, but deeply etched into the psyche. Each figure is rendered in plaster-like surfaces and gauze-like textures, symbolic of both injury and healing. These materials suggest a delicate interplay between fragility and resilience, echoing the psychological bandaging we perform in the aftermath of devastation.
The veiled forms speak to the layers of separation and solitude that shape the long and complex process of recovery. They embody the isolation that trauma can impose, while simultaneously alluding to the tender, silent rituals of care that arise in its wake. Though faceless, the figures resonate with emotional presence. Their postures and proximity reflect a sacred intimacy, a recognition of the invisible threads that bind survivors together.
At its heart, this work is not only about pain, but about endurance. It honors the profound, timeless bonds formed between those who have borne witness to the unspeakable, connections forged not in words, but in silence, shadow, and shared remembrance.
The We That Remains
The work invites reflection on memory, communal sorrow, and the unspoken connections that bind us in moments of vulnerability.
The Quiet Held
This work speaks to duality, presence and absence, memory and embodiment, protection and surrender. It symbolizes the tension between holding on and letting go, or the comfort found in internal refuge during times of deep vulnerability.
