Duran’s latest collection of work resides in the liminal space between memory and abstraction. Past traumas quietly thread through our lives, shaping the inner world of the present. Through abstract expressionism and mixed media, Duran pulls apart these threads, guided by life experiences, music, and raw emotion. Color, texture, and gesture give form unseen forces. Bits of trauma emerge like unexpected bones in a spoonful of soup— reminders to honor and embrace the complexity within our own stories.
