The work creates a zone of tension between the visible and the disappearing. The monochrome landscape and rich red sky violate the usual logic of perception, turning space into an emotional state. Two blurred figures are devoid of individuality, they exist as a trace of human presence in an indifferent environment. The tree remains the only stable element, a symbol of memory and time. Emptiness is active here: it does not depict absence, but becomes a projection field, where the viewer encounters his own sense of temporality and vulnerability.

"Window to Stillness" is an evocative study of light, shadow, and the quiet dignity of a child’s inner world. Inspired by the lighting techniques of 17th-century Dutch masters, this portrait uses the classic device of a window to frame a moment of profound introspection. The soft side-lighting (chiaroscuro) defines the subject’s features, transforming a fleeting moment of silence into a timeless narrative. This piece explores the boundary between the internal and external, capturing the ephemeral beauty of stillness in an increasingly chaotic world.

Diptych from the Women's Backs series: Strength and Vulnerability. The beauty barriers that women are forced into constantly make themselves felt. And even if you're not challenged from the outside, the subtle voice of the beauty myth can resonate from within.

Because life is hard. Self-portrait.

In this work, sensuality takes the shape of a barely perceptible gesture — a tilt of the head toward a leaf, a scent, the breath of another living thing. The blurred silhouette and soft fields of light render the figure as a flash of sensation, a moment suspended between inhalation and exhalation. Vulnerability here appears as the readiness to draw near: to dissolve the borders of the body and, for an instant, become part of a world that breathes back.
