Crucified
Mixed media drawing on handmade paper
71 cm x 180 cm

Crucified zones into the murder scene of the artist’s father. Thematically, the triptych explores death, regeneration, and nostalgia through multidimensional image making techniques such as digital drawing, stitching, chine-collé, and pulp painting. The visual strategies and carefully selected images used in all three panels capture and simultaneously distort time. Time is not linear and the past is presented within the present in an eerie atmosphere. The handmade quality of the sisal paper and carefully stitched surfaces are significant imprints of the artist’s contemplative and meditative energy within this historical yet living narratology.
