Untitled 10 (The Watchman)

A single, hooded presence dominates the narrow frame, its dense black mass absorbing light like a withheld confession against a stained ochre ground. The face is reduced to an oval aperture—part visor, part wound—where a cool, crystalline gaze flickers, suggesting consciousness trapped behind ritual and restraint. By compressing space and stripping the body to elemental geometry, the artist turns the figure into an emblem of inwardness: protection and imprisonment become indistinguishable, and the room itself feels complicit in the silence.
