Traces of the Forgotten (2025)
Description:
A fractured circle, rusted textures, and scattered metallic remnants evoke lost wholeness and the erosion of cherished values.Ancient calligraphy faintly whispers of wisdom hidden beneath the layers of time.
This work reflects on abandonment, resilience, and the enduring light born from darkness—a tribute to what survives when memory fades.

About this piece
Traces of the Forgotten (2025) is an original, one-of-a-kind work by Sergei Troshin, born 1960, based in Canada. It is made with mixed media and measures 30 × 48 in (76.2 × 121.9 cm). It was completed in 2025. There is only one — nothing here is a print or a reproduction.
Materials and finish
Mixed media — Mixed media simply means more than one material was used in the same work, chosen for what each one does to the surface. Tate’s glossary entry on mixed media explains the term in more detail.
Size and scale
The piece measures 30 × 48 in (76.2 × 121.9 cm). It reads as an upright piece, and this is a large piece — it will carry a sofa wall or a dining wall by itself, and wants roughly its own width of clear space around it.
Looking after it
Hang it out of direct sunlight, keep it away from radiators and humidity, and dust it with a dry, soft cloth.
Room conditions matter more than anything else: stable temperature, stable humidity, no direct sun. The American Institute for Conservation publishes plain-language guidance on caring for artwork at home.
From the same year
2025 is represented in the catalogue by 3 works. Alongside this one: Hamsin (2025) and Whisper (2025).
