What We Leave Behind
64 x 89 cm | Mixed media on wood panel | Gold frame
Featuring the artist’s fingerprints in gold leaf
 
A meditation on legacy, intimacy, and the quiet imprints we leave on the world, What We Leave Behind is layered with the artist’s own fingerprints — a personal mark rendered in luminous gold leaf. Each impression becomes a delicate record of presence, both ephemeral and eternal.
 
Set against a soft mauve-lavender base with subtle texture, the fingerprints scatter like memory traces — some defined, some fading — asking us to consider what remains after touch, after presence, after time. The piece is at once personal and universal, inviting reflection on how we connect, influence, and are remembered.
 
Framed in gold, the work balances softness with a quiet strength — a celebration of tenderness, repetition, and the stories held in our hands.
