Fragment of Her is an introspective portrait that balances between recognition and alienation. The woman in the painting does not seem fully present - she is composed of layers of colour, movement and stillness. Her face is only partially visible, as if she appears through the paint and disappears at the same time. This emphasises the idea of fragmentation: of identity, memory and emotion.
The brush strokes are powerful but casual, with contrasting tones of ochre, purple and deep brown alternating like thoughts that don't quite want to coincide. The composition exudes a sense of elusiveness; it invites the viewer to look for what is missing rather than see what is there.
The title refers both to a literal fragment - part of a face, a moment in time - and to the symbolic 'her': the woman herself, her presence, her story. Fragment of Her thus captures the poetic tension between what was once complete and what now remains only as an echo. Modern Abstract.
