Averted Gaze The figure is both present

The figure is both present and dissolving

something unspoken remains

as if to drag one’s soul into the depths

evoking a sensation of flickering memories and creating the illusion of drifting between reality and fantasy

the expression becomes clearer toward the top—with stronger light in the eyes and sharper contrast in the facial features

Averted Gaze The figure is both presentAverted Gaze is a portrait that traces the quiet struggle of looking away from ones own emotions. Each fragmented face turns in a different directiondownward, outward, or far beyondreflecting the moments when we cannot bear to meet ourselves directly. Yet within that distance lies a fragile beauty: the quiet act of trying to face what trembles inside. May this work gently stay close to the unspoken feelings within you. Details Materials: Pastel,
