With a major idea in mind: “what you resist, persists”. Memory Lane depicts a woman going through a memory box, her face contemplative and lost in the past. The painting looks at the concept of diving into the past in order to heal wounds we left buried away or avoided. Facing the memories we thought would break us, this painting represents the walk down memory lane as a way of reclaiming pain into beauty, grief into gratitude. It’s not about fixating on the pain, but moving through it.
