Deborah Jafif. Fragment of a lost language. 2025 Photography and thread on canvas. 37.40 × 51.18 in . An alphabet without translation, where water became word and the word became ruin. The work unfolds as a surface traversed by a weave of signs that seem to belong to a forgotten language. Its origin—a cascade of water—has blurred, leaving only its shadow transformed into structure. Fragmented lines and variable densities configure a visual territory in which the image oscillates between writing and landscape, functioning more as a record than as representation.
