Femme in blue

Femme in Blue
I return again to the female form, but not to define it—rather to dissolve it. In Femme in Blue, the body becomes a shifting presence, fragmented and reassembled through layers of memory, place, and emotion.
There is a tension here between structure and softness. The rigid geometry of the background—fences, architecture, and order—presses against the fluidity of the figure. I’ve interrupted that tension with bursts of colour: hand-worked, almost floral gestures that refuse containment. They move across the surface like a quiet rebellion, soft but insistent.
Blue anchors the work for me. It holds both calm and melancholy, strength and vulnerability. The figure is not fully visible, not fully hidden—she exists in that in-between space where identity is felt more than seen.
This piece is about presence without permission. About occupying space even when fragmented. About finding beauty not in perfection, but in the layered, complicated truth of being.
