Untitled Round (Circular Dreams: A Figurative Composition)

Held within a circular frame like a private world, the work stages an intimate encounter: a profile rendered in warm ochres and ember-reds leans into a cool, verdant field, as if breath and foliage are exchanging secrets. The stark, pale vertical stroke reads simultaneously as barrier and threshold, sharpening the tension between closeness and separation while the lips—most saturated point—become a small altar of desire, speech, or withheld confession. Textural scumbling and delicate, calligraphic tracery around the edges suggest memory’s ornament—details that flicker at the periphery of consciousness—so the image feels less like a portrait than a meditation on longing and the porous boundary between inner life and the living world.
