My Swaddle

Year: 2025

Attracta Manson’s "My Swaddle" is a deeply personal and visually striking work that explores themes of comfort, memory, and protection. The subject—a folded and patterned fabric—floats against a vibrant olive-green linen background, framed by a bold neon yellow border. The rich, layered brushwork gives the textile an almost sculptural presence, its frayed edges and folds capturing both movement and stillness.

The swaddle, an object often associated with infancy, warmth, and security, is reimagined here as an abstract form, inviting the viewer to reflect on its emotional weight. The bold interplay of deep greens, maroon, and black suggests both familiarity and transformation, making this a compelling piece that resonates beyond the personal into the universal.
