WHAT I DON’T WANT TO HEAR

This abstract portrait expresses the moment when memory stings as much as reality. The figure tries to hide their gaze behind a storm of strokes and splashes, as if covering their eyes could erase the absence of the loved one. But the face, especially the mouth and the silent tension it conveys, remains exposed, reminding us that even when one doesn’t want to look, the memory persists and slips through the veils of thought. The chaotic brushstrokes symbolize images that return without permission.
