Before (he silently left) 2018, oil on canvas,  85 x 60 cm

thumbnail_20181122_124433 (1).jpgWhen I went to visit my older brother Orion, I saw he had some photos from when he was little. It was a time before I was born and I was intrigued to imagine him as a child. when I was 15 he decided to not be in contact with anyone of his family, for 8 years we didn’t have any news and this painting is a response to my memory of that emotion, and the helpless sense of losing him through his own choice.
