This body of work emerges from grief following the loss of my mother. Each painting is not a representation of her, but a way of remaining in relationship with absence—of sensing, tracing, carrying, and holding what continues.

Working through an embodied and iterative process, I return to gesture, layering, repetition, collected materials, and organic forms as acts of remembering. Memory appears not as fixed narrative, but as bodily sensation, fragment, atmosphere, landscape, and trace. The paintings move between personal archive and ecological field, between intimate loss and larger systems of inheritance, connection, and continuity.

Across the work, grief unfolds through cycles of accumulation and erosion, presence and disappearance, rupture and return. Forms emerge that resemble cells, nests, pathways, weather, maps, bodies, and living networks—suggesting that remembering does not reside solely in the mind, but circulates through places, materials, relationships, and the body itself.

In this practice, remembering is not an attempt to recover what was, but to attend to what persists. The paintings hold space for what cannot be fully spoken: the textures of longing, the labor of care, and the subtle ways love continues to shape our embodied lives.
