In this artwork, the figure emerges through shifts and overlays of inner states. The distortion is not mechanical but psychological - shaped by pressure from environment, memory, and time. Color acts as an indicator of tension: soft flesh and blue tones seek balance, while sharp neon accents mark moments of inner disruption and realignment. Distortion reflects a condition where deformation becomes a form of adaptation rather than loss.

Please note:
- Possible color deviations (specially reflex red and orange) are due to light, monitor and camera.
- For buyers outside the EU, additional duties and fees may apply.
