This canvas is a creative investigation into the author’s identity — an attempt to understand what defines a person’s character and to answer the questions: Who am I? Where is my home? Who are my people?
It is on the foundation of these questions that the artist began to decode herself, starting from the memories of the places where she grew up. Her native mountains and rivers have decomposed into formless lines, and the flowers that once grew in her mother’s garden now bloom within the garden of her memories. Every element of this garden was born from memory, passing through a sensory-emotional filter, transformed into a form that is unique only to this world.
This piece is part of a triptych.
