Description
A woman rising again — her back curved yet strong, hair gathered, hands resting gracefully on her knee.
Sinuous lines narrate resilience, patience, and rebirth.
The living matter of the background, shaped by hand, dialogues with the figure modeled with palette knife and organic materials, generating a harmonious tension between gesture, presence, and light.
Gold leaf crosses the surface as luminous energy, amplifying the symbolic strength of the figure and her emergence from matter as an act of transformation and awareness.
