Recollectus is a series of ten paintings inspired by Razak Mansion, a now-demolished building that once housed a vibrant community. Though the building is gone, these works preserve its memory and honor my family, especially my grandmother, from whom I inherited the property. The paintings reflect the mansion’s decline—hollow bricks, weathered walls, and empty grounds. The absence of people emphasizes the sense of abandonment, while structured shapes contrast with the organic decay. Cranes appear as a symbol of destruction, marking the erasure of the space. Motifs like paper airplanes and crumbling stairs symbolize impermanence. Recollectus is both a personal and collective reflection on loss and renewal, inviting viewers to consider their own connections to the spaces they inhabit.
