HEALING FIGURES

My Healing Figures series explores the intersection of Visual Art and the Medical Humanities, where narrative, emotional truth, and lived experience matter as much as clinical data. These works reflect my belief in the human spirit’s extraordinary capacity to endure, reorganize, and heal.

I construct large-scale abstract figures from torn canvas layered with paint, oil sticks, and fragments of human and animal X-rays. Normally used for diagnosis, these medical materials are transformed into symbols of renewal. Surfaces appear sutured or bandaged, alluding to both medical intervention and metaphorical repair, while passages of vivid color suggest vitality, memory, and emotion

The figures are not anatomical studies but emotional archetypes. They embody bodies that have absorbed damage and yet reassembled themselves with dignity and force. Their ruptures and seams remain visible as evidence of survival, turning imperfection into a language of resilience.
