Pale Witnesses

$500.00

Pale Witnesses is a hauntingly translucent composition, where rectangular fragments lean against one another like fragile ruins or faded tombstones in a forgotten archive. Rendered in soft, desaturated blues, violets, and chalky whites, the piece evokes the sensation of memory layered over memory—opaque yet ghostly, substantial yet on the verge of vanishing.

Two main structures dominate the composition, their slanted orientation giving a sense of instability or slow collapse. The background is a quiet, flat sky blue, acting as emotional ballast and offering a strange serenity amid the tension of the tilted forms. Texture is soft, like fog lifting off old paper or snow falling over weathered glass.

Within the layered panes are obscured remnants—vague silhouettes, perhaps of landscapes, buildings, or figures—too faded to name, but too present to ignore.

This work meditates on impermanence and the erosion of personal and collective memory. The ghost-architecture of the forms suggests a kind of archaeology of emotion—layers of forgetting, loss, and resilience all at once. The title Pale Witnesses points to the viewer as much as the image itself: are we bearing witness to something long lost, or are we the forgotten ones being looked upon?

There is a quiet melancholia here, but also a gentleness—like finding beauty in what remains when time takes everything else.
