Original artwork description:

"Violet Immersion"– Collage of Silence and Song, an emotionally rich artwork that blends watercolor with vintage sheet music to tell an intimate story of memory, voice, and identity.

This work explores the layered influences shaping personal identity. The sheet music symbolizes social norms—external codes imposed by culture. The lace over the eyes represents inherited values passed down through family: gentle, intimate, and emotionally resonant. Together, they reflect the tension between societal expectations and personal memory.

The fluid form suggests the quiet merging of these forces within us—subtle, persistent, and deeply human.

This piece was painted using delicate washes of watercolor to evoke emotional fluidity, then layered with hand-cut fragments of antique sheet music, textured lace, and semi-translucent paper for depth. The final image was digitized in high resolution to retain every nuance.

Perfect for dreamers, storytellers, musicians, therapists, and art lovers who resonate with emotional nuance, healing journeys, or the poetic echoes of memory.
