Lost Love is a three-painting series that looks at loss as something lived with over time, rather than a single, defining moment. The works are meant to be read together, forming a quiet sequence that moves from memory into aftermath.

The central painting is based on a memory of love and exists as a softened, suspended moment—less anchored in the present than the surrounding works. Watercolor was chosen specifically for this painting to reflect and insinuate memory: its transparency, bleeding edges, and limited control mirror the way recollections fade, soften, and shift over time. The paintings on the left and right reflect life after the loss of love, carrying the weight, solitude, and altered sense of presence that follows. Instead of telling a story outright, the series settles into three related states of being: remembering, enduring, and continuing.

Color functions as a structural element throughout the series. In the central painting, color is lightened, thinned, and allowed to fade into the surface, reinforcing its role as memory—fragile, translucent, and unstable. The surrounding paintings shift in temperature to mark emotional distance and change. On the left, cooler blue tones dominate, enclosing a suited figure in restraint and detachment. On the right, slightly warmer hues appear around a seated figure by water, suggesting quiet endurance and a tentative return to presence, though still subdued.

Together, the paintings form a visual record of love remembered and love lost—measured, restrained, and unresolved—reflecting how memory and grief persist quietly within ordinary life.
