A faceless woman from the past symbolises the anonymity and universality of memory, suggesting that identity itself is partly elusive and shaped by the interplay between the present and the past, creating a dialogue between the personal and the collective, as if the woman represents a timeless presence, without a defined identity, yet connected to a web of memories and stories, capturing the overlapping of times and histories and evoking the idea that the past persists in the present, influencing and enriching it.
This mixed-media painting was created from a collage in which I merged a personal photograph with a period photo.
The ink from the plain paper print was transferred onto a canvas, after which I laid rice paper on top, which added an organic texture to the surface.
Acrylics contribute brush strokes that unify the image, while charcoal shades and pencils some details.
