“Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”

Tempera on paper
30 × 40 cm

This work is about the inner states of a person that can never be fully hidden. About the parts of ourselves that remain in shadow yet continue to shape our identity, memory, and emotional strength.

I wanted to create an image between presence and disappearance, where the figure appears both powerful and vulnerable at the same time. The black silhouette here becomes not an absence of light, but a space for inner dialogue, silence, and self-observation.
