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 begins with memory and lived experience, filtered through shifting psychological narratives. I embrace the unpredictability of life, using chaos and form as raw material for compositions that reflect the hidden structures, both personal and societal, that shape who we are and how we see the world.
"I paint at the edge of chaos and form, searching for the hidden structures of the self."
