Departure of Memory

Charcoal on paper — Fine Art Print
by Marina Volk
 
A man sits before a portrait that might once have been love, loss, or himself. Two suitcases rest nearby — symbols of what we carry when we try to leave behind what still lives within us.
Rendered in deep charcoal tones, Departure of Memory blurs the line between presence and absence, the real and the imagined.
It speaks to the quiet ache of nostalgia — the moment when time stops, and memory becomes a room we never truly leave.
