"FROZEN MEMORIES" SERIE
“What freezes in memory remains untouched by time”
The collection "Frozen Memories" draws from my childhood summer vacations, moments preserved in time and remembered through color rather than detail. These works reflect my enduring love for nature, wild landscapes, sun-filled days and the simple joy of gathering wildflowers into handmade bouquets.
"When I was a little girl, we used to walk into fields full of flowers. The poppies were still closed, holding their colors as secrets. We picked them gently, guessing what color might be inside.
Then we opened them. Each bloom was a small surprise, red, blue, white, creamy, pink, green.
These are the memories I never forgot."
