Distant Memories 1 is a small piece from my Portals series. I was testing the idea of memories as a portal to the past, to our history. That moment of reminiscing, as one transitions from being in the present to lost in thought. It has a contemplative feel.
The background is acrylic paint. The figure is cut from a printed image, and the circles are from an old dictionary.
