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 raw living matter of the background, shaped by hand, engages in dialogue with the figure modeled with palette knife and organic materials, creating depth through natural contrasts of light and shadow.
The monochrome surface emphasizes chiaroscuro and texture, allowing form, gesture, and emergence from matter to speak as an act of transformation and inner awareness.
