Trapped Inside a Part of Me I Hate
Mixed media on canvas, 24" x 36"
This mixed media piece explores the fractured duality of the Twin Peaks character Laura Palmer—the public face and the private unraveling that coexist within her story. A clean, graphic portrait is interrupted by a spray-painted wave pattern, visually distorting the image as if memory itself is rippling and unstable. Torn, graffitied “Missing Persons” flyers surround and partially obscure the work, suggesting layers of narrative imposed over truth, then violently stripped away.
The piece evokes secrecy, disappearance, and the tension between innocence and corruption. References to water—both literal and symbolic—underscore Laura’s fate, echoing themes of concealment, trauma, and the parts of ourselves we try to bury but can never fully erase. The viewer is left confronting what remains when the surface is torn back and the mask can no longer hold.
