Klára Hartlová - The Lake

In this panel, Hartlová explores the fragile border between remembrance and erasure. By layering intense ultramarine fields with embedded fragments of moss and root, she evokes a space where the exterior landscape and inner recollections blur. The hanging branches and collapsed forms gesture toward absence—the body is never shown, yet deeply felt—inviting viewers into a reverie where memory slowly dissolves and is reborn.
