Series of 12 individual canvases, each 20 × 20 cm, arranged as a single composition with 1 cm
gaps between them (overall dimensions: 83 × 62 cm).
The work is made up of twelve separate canvases that together create one image. A young girl
sits inside a makeshift shelter made from blankets and scraps of fabric. The world around her
is monochrome, while the girl appears in color. As a result, she becomes the main focus of the
composition, both visually and emotionally.
The girl sits curled up, hugging her knees tightly. She appears shy, withdrawn, and absorbed
in her own thoughts. Next to her lies a doll, suggesting that childhood is beginning to give way
to something unknown. The painting reflects the moment when childhood begins to give way
to the realities of growing up.
The shelter feels fragile and temporary, offering only a brief sense of safety. It is a small world
of her own, created to provide comfort and a sense of safety. It creates a boundary between the
girl and the world outside. The child sits within the shelter, holding on to its comfort while
sensing that it will not last forever.
The canvases are displayed separately, with equal spaces between them. This separation
becomes part of the work itself. Each piece is incomplete on its own, yet together they form a
whole — much like memories, experiences, and emotions shape a person over time. The spaces
between the fragments reflect the delicate and fragmented nature of memory, emotion, and
personal experience.
The monochrome surroundings contrast with the warmer tones of the girl, making her stand
out within the composition. Although the girl appears small and vulnerable, she carries a quiet
sense of strength and resilience.
The title “FRAGILE SOUL” reflects the vulnerability and sensitivity of childhood. It speaks
of the emotions, fears, and experiences that shape us from an early age and remain part of who
we are.
At its core, the work is about childhood, fragility, fear, and the lasting impact of early
experiences. Through the image of the young girl, the work reflects on childhood and the
lasting impact of early memories and emotions.
The work does not tell a specific story. Instead, it invites viewers to find their own meaning
within it. It is a story of vulnerability, but also of the strength that remains despite it.
