About this artwork
Some memories don’t come back all at once—they return in pieces, blurred at the edges, half-shadow, half-light. Split Memory came from that feeling. I wasn’t trying to capture a single scene, but the sensation of being caught between two versions of the past—one vivid, the other slipping.
I leaned into contrast: rich magentas pressed up against dark teal, a quiet flash of gold on the edge, and a vertical divide that almost splits the canvas. It’s… not a clean break, though. The paint softens the border, the way time does with emotion. I wanted this painting to hold ambiguity—not conflict, not resolution, just the layered residue of remembering.
