The Years | Exploring Identity and Perspective Through Abstract Illustration

Memory never stops. It pairs the dead with the living, real with imaginary beings, dreams with history.
– Annie Ernaux

Illustration inspired by The Years by Annie Ernaux. This commissioned piece explores how to represent the complex, intangible ideas of memory and identity. How to make the invisible patterns of past stories and the fluid nature of becoming visible and understandable through visual form.

The Years, an abstract illustration featuring multiple overlapping profiles of faces, depicted in earthy tones with bold blue lips, against a beige background. The design includes flowing shapes and geometric elements, symbolizing the complexity of identity.

From theatre to literature, I craft illustrations that capture the drama, emotion, and depth of every story. Commission visuals that bring your stories off the page and onto the canvas.

Let’s collaborate!
