Artwork Description:
A Klimtian meditation on childhood: the artist’s niece, Violette, sleeps, her image transposed from a color photograph taken by the grandmother in Minsk—a matriarch whose passion for photography yielded a vast family archive. Chiao reimagines the portrait in a spectrum of colors, transforming the girl’s likeness into a universal emblem of innocence and memory.
