Remembrance: Attachment: Self, in Red

Self, in Red

Painted on silk in black and red, this work depicts my body from the neck down, seated naked in front of a mirror. I painted myself directly from my reflection, using the body as both subject and a means of looking inward.

During the hot summer, I spent more time observing my body and its details. The heat became part of this process, bringing my attention closer to physical sensation, presence, and the memories carried by the body.

Here, the body is not simply a self-portrait. It becomes a site of remembrance—a place where perception, sensation, and memory meet.
