Lingering Memories
Acrylic on canvas, 2023, 16x20cm
This work explores how fragile the mind can be with retaining memories slowly breaking away as seen in the lightbulb shattering. The cloud appears as comforting cradling the bulb but actually is shrouding the minds ability to live in the present creating a distinct disconnect between memory and reality. The old stained papers floating down are symbolic of the memories lingering in the background of the mind that can guide a persons judgments and actions in day-to-day life.
