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?

My work is rooted in memory and lived experience. I build images that shift between presence and fragmentation, allowing instability to remain visible. Rather than fixing form, I let it emerge and adjust through process, guided more by perception and emotional atmosphere than by narrative clarity.
"I use watercolor to construct fragile images suspended between presence and disappearance."
