Fragments of Self

“Fragments of Self” is a self-portrait that delves into the complexities of aging, self-acceptance, and personal growth.

Created from hand-cut paper, the piece depicts the artist pouring out a container of used blades, each one representing a moment of life that has left its mark. These blades symbolize the challenges, pains, and triumphs that have shaped the artist’s journey.

Turning 50 prompted deep reflection, and “Fragments of Self” became a way to make peace with the passage of time. The artwork invites viewers to embrace their own fragments—the stories, experiences, and growth that make them who they are today.

Through this piece, the artist shares a message of self-discovery, acceptance, and the ongoing evolution of the self.
