This painting is a deep reflection of memory and loss. At its centre is a girl crouched, her posture secreting curiosity and connection. She faces a kangaroo, its delicate lean frozen in motion, depicting a cherished memory shared with her late father. Dominating the lower right is a striking red jumper, boldly rendered with the word "Element," embodying the father’s presence and the girl's most vivid recollection of him. The muted green background evokes nostalgia, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Together, the elements intertwine as fragments of the girl’s love and grief, illustrating how memories shape her connection to her father.
