Original artwork description:

"You made me" — a phrase repeated, a face emerging, dissolving.
This work is about formation: how we are shaped by others, how identity is a residue of touch, of absence, of trauma, of care.
The small canvas floats inside a larger one, like memory within the subconscious — framed, but unstable.
Drawn, blurred, dripping, whispered.

It’s a painting about vulnerability, dependence, and the emotional architectures we inherit from intimacy — wanted or not.

Materials used:

acrylic,oil,pastel and textile on linen canvas
