Created during our move to the United States, this first portfolio gathers layered representations of domestic objects (clothes, bedsheets, bubble wrap, glasses) evoking the invisible labor of women at home. These accumulations form monumental, almost architectural “closets,” while individual pieces sometimes open into quiet horizontal landscapes.

Awarded by ShowUp Gallery in Boston and exhibited at the French Consulate during the Renaissance show, Removal was my first attempt to transform the weight of transition into image.

It planted the early seeds for the meditative, layered approach that now guides my abstract watercolor work.
