I am waiting for the right moment to sprout (2025) Original Watercolour by Anna Belousova

This work is part of the series Seeds, inspired by plant forms and processes. I am interested in the kind of life force contained within seeds, and I look for its echo in the movements and states of my own body.

This small-scale watercolor is based on my own body and on the act of posing for myself. The figure folds inward, forming a closed, almost self-contained structure — reminiscent of a seed holding potential within.

Painted in diluted red pigment, the work evokes a state between flesh and fluid. The boundaries of the figure remain unstable, as if the body were dissolving into itself, losing distinction between inside and outside.

The image does not aim to represent the body as a stable form, but to trace an intimate relation — a moment of withdrawal, compression, and internal tension. The body appears as both surface and interior, simultaneously exposed and concealed.
