Original artwork description
This charcoal drawing confronts the viewer with a gaze that refuses to look away. The face is marked by stitched lines — not as decoration, but as evidence. They cut across skin and expression like memories that never fully fade. The charcoal is worked deep into the surface, creating a raw contrast between softness and damage, vulnerability and endurance.
Despite the scars, the eyes remain steady and alert. There is no collapse here — only survival. The drawing speaks of trauma without spectacle, strength without heroics. It captures the quiet resilience of a figure who has been altered, but not erased, holding together what once came apart.
