Size: 20 X 24 inches charcoal and graphite pencil on paper

$1,500
This hyperrealistic drawing captures a haunting moment of stillness-half-submerged in foam and water, a face emerges with a gaze that is both piercing and distant. The bubbles distort yet gently frame the expression, symbolizing the fragile boundary between the outer world and one's inner thoughts. It speaks to themes of isolation, introspection, and the quiet struggle of being present while feeling overwhelmed. In the stillness of water, a hidden depth of emotion floats just beneath the surface.
