Split Open

Acrylic on canvas series

This series emerged from the raw experience of my emotions—a direct encounter with anger, love, fear, despair, unity, and fragmentation. It was born from moments like the one on the psychoanalyst’s couch, when I said:

“I feel like I’m lying down, performing an autopsy on myself.”

What appeared on the canvas took the form of symbolic shapes and bodily forms—some familiar, others fragmented and intangible. These were glimpses beneath the surface, beyond skin and appearances. Through them, I sought to carve a path from the unknown, sensory depths of my being into the outer world.
