What Remains Unsaid

NZ$595.00

A face emerges through layers of colour, texture, and erosion — partially revealed, partially concealed. The surface feels weathered and alive, as though time itself has moved through the work, leaving traces rather than answers.

Fragments of handwritten text, fluid paint, and translucent layers suggest thoughts remembered, rewritten, or quietly released. The figure is not presented as a portrait, but as a presence — a moment of recognition suspended within change. What is hidden feels just as important as what is seen.

What Remains Unsaid speaks to the inner journey of identity — the spaces where words fall short and meaning lives beneath the surface. It invites the viewer to sit with uncertainty, to honour the parts of ourselves that are still forming, still becoming, and not yet ready to be fully named.
