I Was Hers is an intimate, interior moment — a woman holding a black cat close, both of them melting into the comfort of each other. The space around them is simple: a pink couch, a window, a vase with flowers. But what’s happening between them is rich with feeling. Love, yes. But also possession, memory, grief, and belonging.

In this piece, Frankowicz explores what it means to belong to someone — not in the sense of ownership, but of quiet, mutual claiming. A bond that doesn’t ask to be explained. The domestic setting is familiar, even nostalgic, but the emotional weight lingers longer than the lines of the room.

As with much of her work, I Was Hers blends the softness of the everyday with a deep undercurrent of emotional clarity. It’s about devotion, the passage of time, and the silent agreements we make with the ones who love us back.
