“All the young girls love Alice, Tender young Alice, they say.” - The Beatles

In "Alice and her Friend," I explore the boundary where human presence and constructed form intertwine, revealing a realm both familiar and elusive. The composition is a lattice of sharp geometries and fractured faces, shadows resting within architectural fragments that suggest stories held just beyond reach.

Warm earth tones meet cool blues and yellows, while scattered silhouettes inhabit the spaces between—silent witnesses to an unfolding narrative. This piece, drawn from my ongoing "Faces and Facades" series, channels a surreal tension between identity and environment, shaped by abstraction yet grounded in memory and myth. Its title nods subtly to a character from a Beatles song, inviting you to move through layers of meaning and mystery with me.

The image is printed on museum quality archival paper and highlighted with acrylic paint and ink. It is then laminated to a cradled wood panel, varnished, waxed and framed in a black wood floater frame.
