Alice

2024
acrylic on canvas
36 x 24 inches

“Alice” is a study of duality — fragility and strength, presence and distance. The figure of Alice emerges with an ethereal quality, her porcelain skin contrasting sharply against the decaying wallpaper that frames her. This peeling backdrop serves as a metaphor for the passage of time and the imperfections of memory, while Alice herself stands as a figure both fragile and enduring. Her gaze, distant yet piercing, evokes a sense of inner strength despite her exterior. Through the juxtaposition of these elements, the painting seeks to explore the tension between vulnerability and resilience, inviting the viewer to contemplate the hidden depths within us all.
