Fragmented Portraits

Fragmented Portraits is a series of abstract faces built from sharp lines, broken planes, and overlapping perspectives. Each drawing begins as a simple head, then slowly fractures into multiple profiles, eyes, and expressions that coexist in one frame. The works sit between portrait and map charting emotions, memories, and daily noise as they collide inside a single person.

Instead of polishing the figure into one perfect likeness, the series accepts that we are never just one thing. The “fragments” capture shifting moods: calm and anxious, cynical and hopeful, present and elsewhere. Using a limited palette and graphic line, the drawings stay minimal, but the inner life feels crowded.

Fragmented Portraits grew out of the feeling of being pulled in many directions at once, artist, worker, friend, child, stranger. These portraits don’t try to choose between those roles; they stack them, let them overlap, and show the tension where they meet.
