Lipstick Stories is an experimental book project combining short texts with lipstick prints. I work with fragments rather than complete narratives. The texts are intentionally open, written from different narrators, and do not always reach resolution.
I use language sparingly to establish atmosphere rather than plot. A few sentences are enough to suggest a situation, a relationship, or an emotional state. The stories are left unfinished so that the reader can engage with them freely and complete them through their own associations and experiences.
The lipstick prints function as visual traces rather than illustrations. They introduce intimacy and presence while remaining ambiguous. Together, text and image form a starting point, not a conclusion. The reader may leave the story as it is, or extend it beyond the page on their own terms.
Lipstick Stories operates between literature and visual art, authorship and interpretation. I provide the framework; the meaning is formed in the encounter with the reader.
