“Soulless” is a visceral reflection on the invisible trauma of the twinless twin — a term used to describe those who have lost a twin, born or unborn. The piece explores the psychic void left behind, a hollow presence that never fully materialized but continues to echo throughout life.
Bound in thick, tangled rope and layered with black, tar-like texture, the canvas becomes both wound and witness. The dark material is not just absence — it is memory hardened, grief suspended. The physical tension of the ropes hints at containment, at a soul bound to what is no longer there. What remains is not silence, but a haunting form of presence: a shape that once had potential, but never a voice.
Through abstraction, Soulless gives form to a grief without language, a bond that was never broken — because it never fully began.
