This charcoal piece captures a figure drifting between presence and disappearance, as if seen through memory rather than reality. The soft, blurred contours and mist-like textures create an atmosphere of emotional distance—someone near, yet unreachable.
Scratches and ghostly smudges on the surface add to the sense of erosion, like time slowly wiping the image away. The figure’s downward gaze suggests introspection, fragility, or a moment of quiet resignation.
It’s a portrait that feels more like a feeling than a face—a fleeting imprint of a person you once knew, or maybe only imagined.
