About this artwork
This work is about a woman who has passed through destruction.
About that silence after upheaval, when the former face no longer exists, and one has to assemble herself again — piece by piece, fragment by fragment.
One eye is a new kind of vision that has already formed.
And it sees differently: deeper, more attentive, more focused.
It is the gaze of someone who will no longer live in illusions.
The second eye is still in the process of being born.
We see a hand literally placing it into its position, like a new part of a puzzle.
Just as after severe inner collapse, we create a new internal profile — step by step, layer by layer, with different logic, different strength, different sensitivity.
One hand protects and shields the fragile new self that is only beginning to take shape.
The other builds, assembles, constructs the structure anew.
This is about recovery after something has deeply broken.
To continue living, one must rebuild.
And each fragment is a decision not to let the past dictate the future.
“Reassembling Myself” is about a woman who is no longer who she once was, and who will never again look at life with the same eyes.
But within this new construction lies an endless strength.
This is a face that appears only after everything has been shattered.
A face you will recognize later — when you assemble your own.
