Pinned And Preserved
Preserved and Pinned is an ongoing series exploring the tension between preservation and destruction, memory and decay. Objects that once carried meaning “fragile, discarded, or restrained” are presented in a suspended state, evoking themes of vulnerability, violence, and resilience. Through carefully composed still life arrangements, each painting captures the quiet unease of objects trapped between past significance and present deterioration.
