Drawing and painting as a language for trauma, memory, identity and psychological fragmentation. Drawing and painting serve as a language through which trauma, memory, identity, and psychological fragmentation are explored. Rooted in lived experience, the work examines the ways in which inner realities are constructed, preserved, and transformed. At the age of fifteen, trauma resulted in the loss of speech. Unable to communicate verbally, drawing became a means of connection and expression. Over time, this necessity evolved into a distinct visual language and the foundation of an artistic practice centred on making visible what often remains unseen and difficult to articulate. The work is informed by experiences of dissociation and the coexistence of multiple inner realities. Through layered compositions, symbolic imagery, and intuitive mark-making, fragmented memories and psychological landscapes are translated into visual form. Each work functions as both a record and a reconstruction, where traces of experience are transformed into new narratives and possibilities of meaning. By moving beyond autobiography and into a shared human territory, the work invites viewers to reflect on memory, identity, vulnerability, and the complexity of perception. Art becomes a space in which fragmentation and wholeness, absence and presence, can exist simultaneously, offering new ways of seeing and understanding the inner world.
