Erasure originates from a process of research and collective inquiry, in which Meshel gathered historical facts, personal narratives, and cultural knowledge shared by individuals from diverse backgrounds. These fragments, often overlooked, omitted, or insufficiently represented within dominant historical accounts, were initially inscribed across the surface of the work.
The accumulation of these texts forms a dense layer of information, mapping a plurality of voices and perspectives. This archive is then progressively obscured through the application of multiple thin layers of white acrylic paint. Rather than fully concealing the content, the process renders it partially visible, suspended between legibility and disappearance.
Through this iterative act of writing and covering, Erasure materialises the mechanisms by which histories are constructed, filtered, and suppressed. The work reflects on the ways in which dominant power structures, particularly those shaped by white supremacy, have contributed to the systematic removal or distortion of cultural memory, leaving gaps in collective understanding.
