This piece explores the delicate boundary between presence and absence. Rendered in a fusion of chalk and ink, the subject emerges from a warm, sepia-toned void, as if caught in a moment of quiet introspection or fading memory.

The heavy, permanent lines of the ink provide a structural foundation, while the soft, blended chalk creates a sfumato effect that mimics the transience of human thought. The intentional lack of hard borders invites the viewer to complete the features in their own mind, turning a singular portrait into a universal study of the soul.
