The Story

Humming with the quiet echoes of personal history, this small acrylic painting on canvas board unfolds as a layered collage of scent, touch, and time. Its title nods to the hair product my father used each morning, a fragrance that lingers in memory like a signature of care and routine, echoed in the image of his slicked-back hair and the familiar chair he would sink into after work. Floating above, an early Nokia mobile phone marks a first taste of independence, its pixelated screen once heavy with teenage secrets, while an old-fashioned paper library card recalls afternoons spent with my grandfather, wandering hushed aisles in a world before screens dictated knowledge. A final note of joy appears in the form of a 1990s McDonald’s Happy Meal toy - small, playful, and sincere - bringing the work together as a love letter to the past, painted slowly in acrylic and devoted to the ordinary objects that shape us and refuse to fade.
