Untitled 11

A quiet, graphite-toned tableau unfolds like a private dream: a lone figure reclines within a blunt, bedlike form while a slender vertical trunk rises with totemic insistence, puncturing the surrounding emptiness. From this axis, animal visages—cat and deer—emerge as calm emissaries of instinct, their simplified features hovering between innocence and unease, as if memory itself has taken on zoological masks. The austere palette and generous negative space amplify the work’s psychological distance, turning the scene into an allegory of inner companionship where the self negotiates rest, vigilance, and the tender strangeness of imagination.
