When the Motif Erased Her
When the Motif Erased Her
When the Motif Erased Her reveals a young girl whose identity has been consumed by time. Extracted from a deteriorated early 20th-century glass negative, her face has dissolved entirely, leaving only the gentle outline of her posture. Rendered in layered green, the artwork transforms loss into a poetic visual language, where colour becomes the memory that replaces detail.
The tension between what is missing and what survives creates an emotional depth that resonates with collectors who appreciate conceptual portraiture and archival transformation. The nearly square composition enhances its balance and presence, making it ideal for contemporary interiors.
This piece embodies the Metamorphosis ethos—turning photographic decay into a renewed form of beauty, while honouring the forgotten subjects who once stood before the camera. A powerful and collectible artwork for those who are drawn to rarity, narrative, and the mystery of erased identity.
