Exhibit Description
Remembrance to Forgiveness
This is the first part of a two-part series exploring the remembrance of painful, forgotten parts of self, and of a larger collective that I feel deeply connected to. These paintings are a reflection of this remembering and its often painful truths. They are part of a movement from pain toward peace, and an attempt to meet what has been carried for a long time with more freedom and care. The works speak to a choice: to prioritise personal freedom and emotional healing over carrying lifelong burdens. From there, we can begin to move toward an anchored foundation of peace.
