Abstract in form, it captures the tension between self and unknown. A red self-portrait burns at the center — fierce, solitary, holding love and vitality. Gray lines like drifting mist blur boundaries, encircling the self, spreading outward yet never piercing the abyss — the unknown questions self-knowledge. A boat drifts in an endless void; a tiny green fruit whispers hope, a tender prayer to uncertainty. Life offers no answers, only a meditation: How to seek clarity, hold hope, find meaning while drifting? The work awakens solitude and an eternal yearning — a silent dialogue asking: Who are we? Where are we bound?
