In her artistic practice, Helen explores intimacy through the relationship between life and cherished memories. Central to her graphic art are her mother’s flowers: bouquets received from loved ones and those growing in their garden. Helen transforms them into powerful metaphors of vulnerability and tenderness. She does not depict the illness directly, but captures the emotional world surrounding it. Through her graphic techniques, she freezes time. She preserves what inevitably fades and creates flowers that never die. Through the use of colour and flowers in full bloom, she emphasises that there is much beauty in the speed of life. Yet this is something she herself still has to learn: an attempt to enjoy the things that never stand still and seem to slip through our fingers too quickly.
