Description
This artwork explores the intimate and evolving bonds between sisters, particularly the shifts that occur after the loss of one. Through childhood dolls, the artist expresses the deep connection between siblings and the individual; collective journeys of grief, remembrance, and healing. Each piece reflects the emotional landscapes that emerge as surviving sisters navigate loss, honouring the departed while reinvesting in their relationships. The tactile nature of clay mirrors the lasting imprint of love—both fragile and enduring—inviting reflection on how grief reshapes familial ties and the evolution of sisterhood through loss.
