Description
She stood still, not out of awe — but recognition. Like the girl in the painting had been waiting for her. Two versions of wonder, separated by canvas and years, locked in a quiet exchange. One facing inward, one looking back. The room fell away. All that remained was the hush between them, thick with the feeling that maybe this was more than art — maybe it was memory.
My thoughts as artist.
This piece isn’t about nostalgia — it’s about echoes. About how a child can stumble into a gallery and see not just paint and frame, but a version of herself she’s never met. A ghost of who she might become, or a fragment of who she already is. The figure in the portrait stares through the glass, and the girl stares back — both suspended in a moment that feels older than the room.
It’s a quiet communion — a meeting across timelines, where the art doesn’t just speak — it remembers.
