most certainly there had been a paralysis in time
when she looked in the liquid mirror and saw her true face.
she could only feel the movement of the minuscule droplets in her face
and no dance of thoughts and no heaven.
she was fragmented in the immense kaleidoscope of the world.

"Clepsydra" was created from my exploration with bolder collage on paper. The drawings were dismembered and made part of the composition along with hand tinted pieces of paper. Then they were strategically retouched with oils or pencils.

Materials used:

paper, acrylics, gesso. matte medium
