Original Pen-Plotted Artwork

From the Matildas series.

Up close, a dense architectural pattern. Step back, and small
variations resolve into a portrait of Lise Meitner, embedded
in the structure that erased her.


Lise Meitner (1878-1968)

She built the theoretical explanation for nuclear fission using
the liquid-drop model. Coined the term "fission."

Credit for the discovery went to her longtime collaborator Otto
Hahn, who published the experimental data without listing her as
co-author. He won the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry alone.

Hahn cited her interpretation in his Nobel lecture but never used
his laureate status to nominate her. In his memoirs, he erased her
role entirely. He claimed physics had impeded the discovery.

The Nobel committee framed fission as a purely chemical achievement,
sidelining the physics, sidelining her.

Nominated 49 times for Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry.
Never won.

The piece is featured at the Rouen National Arts 2026 Biennale (Halles aux Toiles, Rouen, 20 May to 14 June 2026).
