50 x 70 x 3cm (unframed)

Original artwork description
“The Bride” is a haunting monochrome portrait inspired by the film of the same name, exploring themes of isolation, memory, and inner fragility.
Encased beneath a glass dome, the figure appears both preserved and imprisoned — suspended between presence and absence. Her upward gaze suggests longing, surrender, or perhaps a quiet search for something beyond her confinement.
The stark contrast between light and darkness enhances the emotional tension of the piece. Soft, almost luminous brushwork defines the face, while the surrounding textured background dissolves into shadow, creating a sense of depth and psychological space.
This work speaks to the delicate boundary between protection and captivity, beauty and silence — inviting the viewer into a deeply introspective and cinematic atmosphere.
