A thumb and forefinger lift a doll’s head into view, not quite gently, not quite firmly. Was it dropped? Displayed? Recovered? The ambiguity of the hand is central. It offers no explanation, only a moment of quiet, suspended inspection.
Part of the Held: Fragments of Self series, this work is less a portrait than a trace. Beginning with the fragment of a doll, each painting in the series explores what remains when girlhood becomes memory... incomplete, reconstructed, and often uneasy. Handler asks: When we hold what’s left, are we caring for it, or controlling it?

I explore the intersection of memory, identity, and psychological narratives, using nature's unpredictability as a foundation. By balancing chaos and form, I craft abstract, atmospheric compositions that challenge familiar perceptions and invite viewers to reflect on the evolving nature of self and reality.
"Art is the language where memory, identity, and chaos converge, where every shape and brush stroke redefines the boundaries of perception and invites us to question the fabric of our evolving reality."
