The Invisible Poison (Beneath the Surface)

Rendered in dense monochrome linework, the scene stages a collision between the human body and industrial ruin: a respirator-clad face emerges from the right like a witness, while a toppled truck and scattered debris drift in the surrounding dark. The meticulous crosshatching turns air into weight, suggesting a world where breath has become engineered and precarious, and where machinery feels as vulnerable as flesh. By compressing space and crowding the frame with hoses, metal ribs, and fractured forms, the artist evokes an anxious ecology—survival as a mechanical negotiation rather than a natural right.
