Reflection

Reflection is an abstract self-portrait that explores the tension between presence and absence. The rough textures and fragmented strokes mirror the ways identity resists being fully captured or defined. In the blurring of features, I confront the shifting nature of self—haunted by memory, shaped by silence, and layered with experience. What emerges is not a likeness, but a trace: a reminder that to see oneself is to meet both clarity and obscurity. Reflection invites the viewer to meet the artist but in that instance meet theirself.
