SOULGRAMS SERIES

Technique: Polaroid film, acrylic, collage, canvas

Am I allowed to miss a person who was never even conceived?
If someone existed only in dreams and hopes, does that mean they existed at all?

The Soulgram series explores absence, longing, and emotional memory through contemporary mixed media. These works are rooted in the experience of an unconceived child — a desire for motherhood that existed, but never found the conditions to become physical.

Each soulgram is an attempt to give form to something that never fully existed, yet was deeply felt. Using fragmented Polaroid film, acrylic, and collage, I work with materials that already carry traces of previous lives. Like emotional echograms — inner ultrasounds — these images do not document a body, but register an inner state: hope, grief, and the quiet persistence of longing.

This series is also an act of acceptance. By externalizing these emotions, the Soulgrams allow what was never born to exist briefly, outside the body, as image and presence.

The works are created intuitively and without over-planning. They do not offer answers or resolution. Instead, they hold space for questions — about loss, imagination, and whether emotional reality requires physical proof to be real.
