In this contemplative work from the Study of Woman series, the figure folds into a half-foetal pose, her gaze fixed on her hands as if searching for meaning in their quiet lines. The mood is sombre yet intimate, her vulnerability softened by stillness.
Behind her, a vivid field of orange seeps and drips against the deep blue, like a wall at once protective and decaying. This juxtaposition heightens the fragility of the scene, where repose becomes an act of endurance, and hope flickers in the tension between shelter and collapse.
