cleves

This mural, painted above the fireplace of a childhood family friend in Cleves, Ohio, holds a deeply personal connection to Lauren’s early years. Having spent the first five years of her life in this town, she drew inspiration from fleeting memories—vivid moments that have lingered in her mind. Through a bold and contrasting abstract composition, she sought to capture the emotions and textures of nostalgia: the interplay of familiarity and distance, warmth and transformation.
