The Sea Above (Headless Women - Series)

The piece investigates fragmentation of self and the ways identity is both contained and dispersed.

The “sea above” title implies that the mind (sea/cloud) is above and perhaps overwhelming; the face held below suggests both reverence and dislocation — identity is protected yet separate.

There’s also a tension between vulnerability (nudity, exposed torso) and agency (holding one’s own face).

The Process:

A ritual of assembly and dissolution. I combine hand-painted fragments with magazine cutouts in a temporary physical collage. Once scanned and digitally processed, the work is dismantled.
