I'm almost ready to open up; Seeds series (2025) Original Watercolour by Anna Belousova

This work is part of the series Seeds, inspired by plant life and processes of growth. I am interested in the vital force contained within seeds, and I search for its manifestation 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 elongates upward, suggesting a state of emergence — as if the body were stretching beyond its own limits.

Rather than presenting a stable form, the work traces a transitional condition. The body appears fluid and unstable, oscillating between structure and dissolution, between containment and expansion.

Painted in diluted red pigment, the image evokes both flesh and a kind of inner pressure, as if something were pushing through the body from within. The boundaries remain soft and porous, allowing the figure to merge with the surrounding space.
