Nature. Reflections. Land. Water. Texture. Transparency. Photography that captures a moment that will never be the same.

Oil on canvas, 2023 (ongoing)
This series was sparked from flipping through family albums filled with lost memories, forgotten stories. I longed to remember these moments and reconstruct them into a new narrative, one filled with forgiveness and love. My childhood had beautiful moments but it was also a time of sorrow, abandonment and loss. Through the act of painting these memories and missing figures, I move past my resentment and anger to find myself again and heal. Deeply personal, these self-portraits take you back to a nostalgic time that the viewer can relate to through distinct colours and feelings of freedom and happiness of childhood.
