Reclamation I marks the moment when fragments stop feeling broken and begin forming something new. Layers of paint, marks, and collage emerge and recede, suggesting memories that are no longer hidden but no longer define the whole. The embedded frame pieces hint that our stories are never confined to neat borders--they extend beyond what we first believe. Rather than erasing the past, the painting gathers it into a new landscape where resilience, curiosity, and possibility coexist.
