Wounded 1 (Wounded)

A single figure folds into itself with the quiet inevitability of a closed shell, the contour line both tender and enclosing as it traces a body turned inward for refuge. The pale, misted modeling softens the anatomy into something elemental, while the spare background becomes a field of silence that amplifies the intimate drama of self-containment. A small, lattice-like accent—half wound, half window—punctures the otherwise muted surface, suggesting the mind’s restless light still flickering beneath resignation. In this compressed composition, touch circles back onto the self, turning vulnerability into a guarded, almost devotional posture.
