The work explores the state of being present in the world as a fragile balance between inner awareness and external reality. The deformed figure appears to hold itself within the space, remaining composed yet unstable, like a person who is both observing and experiencing at the same time. The gaze becomes a point of concentration, anchoring the moment here and now without engaging in dialogue, but rather maintaining an inner boundary. Color and form reinforce this state: contrasting planes and a restrained palette create a sense of quiet tension and inner clarity. The painting is made with acrylic on canvas. The artwork measures 30×60 cm, with a depth of 3,5 cm, It will be shipped ready to hang, securely packed in a cardboard box.
