Amnesia (2024)Oil painting
by Delnara El

“Amnesia” illustrates a modern paradox: despite boundless access to information, we drift from our own memories, longing to escape life’s burdens. A vulnerable figure in a stark room embodies this urge to flee, yet remains tethered by the roots of personal history. The decaying pod shapes and tangled nets represent fragile memory capsules slipping away, while the fractured window hints at the fractures in our identity. These roots—our lived experiences—ultimately shape us, reminding us that no matter how hard we try to run, we can never truly sever the bonds of our past. When memory unravels, our vulnerability surfaces, leaving us uncertain of who we really are.

The artwork is stretched on the rail and ready to hang. according to the author’s idea, it should be exhibited “naked” - without a frame or stretcher.

The work was exhibited at Delnara’s personal exhibition “Against interpretation” in Geneva, Switzerland.
