Lady Jane Sleeps is a series that evokes the quiet rituals of emotional service and sovereign solitude, drawing symbolic inspiration from the historical role of the lady-in-waiting. These are not literal portraits of courtly figures, but expressive echoes—abstracted faces, suspended between presence and retreat. Lady in Waiting gazes outward with vivid blue eyes and poised red lips, a sentinel of longing and watchfulness. Lady Jane Sleeps, by contrast, turns inward—eyes closed, hand raised in a gesture of surrender or shielding, her turquoise nails a quiet rebellion against muted tones.

​

Together, the two works form a chamber of psychological tension, where intimacy and distance perform a silent duet. The series suggests a sovereign interiority—Jane as both queen and dreamer, attended not by servants but by fragments of her own emotional architecture. In this refracted court, the lady-in-waiting becomes a metaphor for the part of the self that holds vigil while another part rests. Lady Jane Sleeps invites viewers to linger in this liminal space, where abstraction becomes ritual and silence becomes power.
