Forgotten

The Forgotten is a series that reflects on the lives of marginalized youth whose stories often remain unheard within the noise of contemporary society. The paintings consider the quiet presence of individuals who exist at the edges of visibility, shaped by circumstances that frequently go unnoticed. Through layered color and careful attention to expression and gesture, the works attempt to create space for these overlooked narratives. Rather than presenting definitive stories, the images suggest fragments of experience—moments of vulnerability, resilience, and reflection. The series invites viewers to consider how absence, neglect, and invisibility shape human experience. In doing so, the works seek to restore a sense of presence to those who are too often overlooked.
