- Half of Me in Shadow
Original artwork description
This charcoal portrait captures a young woman suspended between shadow and light, her gaze drifting inward as if caught in a private thought. One half of her face dissolves into darkness, while the other is softly illuminated, revealing delicate contours and subtle tension around the eyes and mouth. Her hands rest near her collar, both protective and vulnerable, adding to the sense of emotional stillness.
The drawing plays with contrast and blurred transitions, giving it a cinematic, dream-like atmosphere—an intimate moment held in charcoal and breath.
