After Bouguereau is a series of artworks rendered in archival ink on handmade paper. The series takes as its starting point fragments of a large-scale painting made in nineteenth century France, placing those fragments under a contemporary lens.
By isolating a detail from the whole, Traicos asks what survives when grandeur is stripped away. What remains is form, feeling, and the trace of a hand. Working in a tradition-based technique on handmade paper, she draws a direct line between the original work and the present moment, collapsing the distance between then and now.
