Veils of Memory is both a painting and a confessional artifact. Before a single layer of paint was applied, the artist covered the entire canvas — including its deep edges — with handwritten text: a stream of consciousness recounting her life’s story, up to the moment this piece was created.
What followed was a gentle act of concealment. Layers of white paint and rough texture began to obscure the words, softening memories into abstraction. But not everything is hidden. Rich brown circles preserve small windows into the past, where fragments of text remain exposed. Red dots punctuate the surface, symbolizing the lessons that sometimes rise sharply through time’s blur.
Mood: Reflective, intimate, layered
Main Colors: Soft white, espresso brown, crimson red
Inspiration: A personal act of storytelling and release — a way to honor, veil, and transform memory into something new. This piece holds what was said, what was felt, and what now gently fades.
