collage on wood panel
8.5 x 11 in.
The central focus is a fragmented image of a woman's head and shoulders, lying horizontally across the frame and facing down. The dark brown hair is voluminous and braided. Delicate earrings with a small pearl adorn the ear. Gray clouds are behind and above the figure. Behind the figure, there are two patchy patterns that rise vertically and form two distinct towers.
“The intention of this work is to speak to the notion of feelings of disconnection and isolation. It invites the viewer to create their own story by linking all the disparate elements. The limited colour palette, primarily earth tones with stark black and white accents, contributes to the collage's melancholic atmosphere.”
