Fragmented Familiar

 

 

Drawing series, 2025

Fragmented Familiar is an ongoing series of drawings and digital recompositions that merge botanical forms with anatomical fragments, creating hybrid organisms that feel both intimate and alien. Each work begins as a physical drawing, rendered with careful observation and raw mark-making, then later fractured and rearranged through digital collage.

The series plays with the language of natural history — specimens, dissections, taxonomies — but resists classification. Leaves become organs, roots resemble nerves, and petals stretch into insect wings. The digital versions are not corrections but mutations, echoing the instability of memory, identity, and the body.

What emerges is a collection of impossible specimens: part plant, part body, part dream. They are familiar enough to be recognizable, yet fragmented enough to feel uncanny — like entries in a parallel archive of life.
