LOST SISTER

2025 – 2026





The image itself is struggling to hold. 
Lost Sister is a sequence of oil paintings in which figures appear under pressure — emerging, dissolving, withholding, or resisting coherence altogether. Developed over months of return, rupture, and revision, the works remain suspended in states of emotional and material instability. Bodies, interiors, memory, and relational fracture surface only partially.
