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 grows out of memory and lived experience. I let the unpredictable side of life (its disruptions, coincidences, and contradictions) become part of the painting process. By balancing chaos with form, I look for the underlying patterns that run through both my own story and the world we share.
"I paint in the space between chaos and structure, trying to uncover what lies beneath the surface of the self."
