self portrait in bone

self portrait in bone
textured sculpture on canvas

A skeletal hand reaches across a shifting landscape of colour, texture and scattered organic forms—an offer of help that arrives stripped of certainty, comfort and flesh. Self portrait in bone explores the uneasy space between dependence and connection, where assistance can feel both lifesaving and exposing. The fractured limb suggests sacrifice, exhaustion and the cost of continually reaching for others. Darkly humorous yet vulnerable, the work asks a simple question: when everything begins to fall apart, who will still reach back?
