The foundation of this work lies in personal archival photographs, which reinterpret through painting. At the core of inquiry is the fragmentary nature of memory — particularly the phenomenon of vividly recalling details of clothing while the broader narrative of events remains blurred or partially lost. In this context, clothing emerges as a key marker of both bodily and emotional memory.
Unfinished objects, a faded colour palette, and vanishing textures evoke the quality of recollection. The use of pink — a colour often associated with naivety — introduces a sense of anxious ambiguity, like a premonition of impending change.
This work does not depict a singular moment of coming of age, but rather traces it as an unfolding process. Adulthood here is not merely a life stage, but a space of loss, reinterpretation, and the search for a renewed identity. Within this project, art becomes a means of reassembling the self — through the material remnants of the past, through images and emotions that surface at the threshold between memory and present experience.
