Fragments #4 / Mother and Me collection - Print

"Encouragement never arrived whole; I found fragments until there was nothing left to carry." This collection is sketched and written entirely with tree branches dipped in Indian and Chinese ink, allowing every line and word to carry the unpredictability of a natural tool. The duo pear silhouettes represent a mother and a daughter - two lives shaped together yet marked by different bruises, different silences. The scribbled text surrounding them shifts between clarity and obscurity echoing the way family communication often slips between what is said, what is swallowed and what is too late to voice. Working in monochrome reveals the emotional core without distraction, leaving only gesture, texture and truth. Through these raw, branch-drawn forms and half-legible words, the collection explores the distance, longing and unresolved tenderness between two generations - and the fragments of connection that remain.
