Wallflower

A figurative painting in soft tones of pink, green, and light blue, depicting a pale female figure positioned on the left side of the composition. She is caught in a vulnerable moment of withdrawal- seemingly wishing to dissolve into the wall behind her. Her eyes are closed, her body drawn inward, as if seeking protection from the world. Yet the red contour line and the dark shadow surrounding her assert her presence, pulling her outward into visibility. The tension between the desire to disappear and the impossibility of doing so creates a figure that cannot fade- neither for herself nor for the viewer. The painting explores themes of visibility, vulnerability, and the weight of presence—even when it longs to remain unseen.
