Flask of Heads, 2021

9" x 12" Watercolor on Paper; unframed.

In Flask of Heads, identity is preserved, compressed, and rendered inert, stacked like relics in an alchemical vessel. The bottle suggests containment of memory, guilt, or conquered selves—trophies of survival or regret sealed away rather than released. These faces do not scream; they endure, suspended in a state between erasure and remembrance. The work evokes the ancient fear that nothing truly dies, but waits, watching, within us.
