Together, the diptych invites viewers to consider how sound, memory, and emotion can be translated into visual form, blurring the boundaries between the seen and the unseen.

This diptych is a meditation on the intangible—sound, memory, and the passage of time—rendered visible through layered, process-driven mark-making. The left panel centers on a stylized girl mid-expression, her exaggerated lips and flowing hair suggesting a sound so powerful it distorts the space around her.

The sanded-down watercolor background, with its ghostly lightning and swirling textures, evokes the aftermath of an eruption, as if her voice has left a permanent imprint on the canvas.

The right panel shifts to a quieter, more introspective space. A glowing, uneven rectangle frames a spectral wrist reaching outward, dissolving into a stream of stars. This gesture, both fragile and determined, speaks to the fleeting nature of connection and the desire to grasp what is just out of reach.
