Curatorial Note:
This piece by ArNoUx captures the intimate and fractured nature of memory through a raw, expressive female portrait. Created on humble recycled paper, the artwork unfolds like a visual poem—layered, imperfect, and hauntingly tender. The segmented surface, cut and reassembled, evokes the fragmentation of identity and time.

The gaze is magnetic, softened by blurred lines and ghostly shadows, yet anchored by bold strokes of violet and ochre. The textures suggest vulnerability, resilience, and a quiet confrontation with the self. As with much of ArNoUx’s work, the material itself becomes part of the message: fragile, torn, yet strikingly alive.

This portrait is not simply a depiction—it is a presence. A trace. A testimony of existence seen through the lens of German Expressionist emotion.
