Original artwork description:

This interactive painting invites the viewer to turn its layered pages, revealing words, stains, and fragments of thought hidden beneath the surface.
Each layer exposes a trace of memory — fragile, personal, and fading — while confronting ideas of voice, vulnerability, and identity.
The act of opening becomes part of the artwork itself, transforming the observer into a participant in the process of revelation.

A quiet yet intense dialogue unfolds between color, text, and silence — a conversation only the shadow continues.

Materials used:

Mixed media on layered paper & canvas
