This artwork merges figuration and abstraction through painting and sculptural elements, drawing the viewer into a moment of dissolution and becoming. The soft, blurred visage at the center is partially obscured and entangled in a web of fibers, threads, and raw textures, suggesting both memory and erasure. The use of materials—canvas threads, fabric, resinous surfaces, and a three-dimensional handmade butterfly—creates a tactile rupture in the painted plane. These elements activate the work beyond visual language, inviting presence and reflection.
The butterfly, delicately perched yet embedded in chaos, becomes a quiet focal point—an emblem of connectivity and survival. Pink and black threads trail like veins or scars, mapping a process of unraveling and repair.
This is not a static image—it is a threshold. The painting transforms as one looks: shifting from beauty to fragmentation, from portrait to relic, from surface to wound. It invites the viewer to confront their own cycles of vulnerability, resilience, and change.
