Time's Arrow Series - Identities in Between Painting

An original painting made from crushed minerals (natural and synthetic, including semi-precious stones) and crushed oyster shells on Japanese paper, mounted on a wood panel. Because these substances consist of unique chemical and physical properties, every artwork has its own story to tell and embodies a sense of connection to the earth. It has a matt and rich sand-like texture. This painting is a recollection of two incompatible memories that are deeply engraved in the artist's identity. She depicted the floor of Galerie d'Apollon in the Louvre, a place where she used to spend hours every time she get to visit since 12 years old. She covered its floor with Tatami mats, symbolizing her grandfather's house, where she spent her early childhood. The fluorescent line running through the center, sharing light and shadow from left to right, represents a time axis that continues into the future. She attempts to preserve its identity, time, and memory by providing an abstract concept a physical form. This painting is the second of the 'Time's Arrow' series. The title “Time’s arrow” is a concept developed in 1927 by the British astrophysicist Arthur Eddington, positing the one-way direction of time.
