This portrait shows a woman in profile - still, closed, interwoven with what surrounds her. Her skin is criss-crossed with fine cracks, golden-coloured like lived time, as if it had been worn for centuries. Life grows between these cracks: Ivy leaves sprout from the lines, entwining themselves across her cheek, neck and shoulder.
Branches and cables flow out of her head in equal measure - a mesh of nature and technology that grows into each other without contradicting itself. The branches are gnarled, full of memory, while the cables are smooth, flexible and of unknown origin. Both emerge from it like thoughts - deeply rooted experiences and stored data at the same time.
Her face rests in perfect serenity. No pain, no uncertainty - just concentration. It is the expression of someone who no longer has to fend anything off. Everything she is is allowed to grow.
"Where memory takes root" is a face of light that does not shine on the outside, but shines on the inside. It speaks of a new humanity - one that no longer distinguishes between nature and progress, but embraces both.
A quiet manifesto for connection. For growth through rupture. For beauty that thrives in the spaces in between.
