About this artwork
This series is the result of a process of observation and memory that began externally and moved inward. I examine the deconstruction and reconstruction of my identity as someone who has left her home behind to replace it with a new one. The work offsets images from the past with those of the present, as a metaphor for the evolution of one's identity. It examines the seam between the broken and the renewed, and exposes the divided identity that is…
unique to immigrants. I use the image of the window as a transitional element between the old and the new, and as a passage between inside and outside. Reflective as well as transparent, the window bridges between past and present, and enables observation from a distance. The paintings represent the passing of time, longing, and disappearing and reemerging traces of memories, all elements which are involved in the process of migration.

« This visual exploration reflects the constant interaction between universal elements and personal symbols, allowing a reflective look at their complicated co-existence. »
Irit Epstein is an artist based in Canada whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Israel, Germany, Italy, Mexico, and the United States. Her works are a personal diary and a reflection of her continuous inner journey, carrying on a dialogue with her changing environment and responding through symbolic imagery. Alongside fragmented narratives, Epstein often employs distorted combinations of recognizable and abstract forms, creating tension between discipline and improvisation.
