Description
Owing to the Absence 26 proves that scale is no measure of force. In just 38×28 cm, black ink concentrates into a dense, trembling presence — a fragment of a figure, a held breath, a thought that refuses to finish. The small format pulls the viewer close, turning looking into a private exchange. Each mark feels decisive, as though the drawing could not afford a single wasted gesture. It is the series distilled to its essence: everything owed, nothing spared.
Owing to the Absence series, 2022–23; ink on paper, 38×28 cm (15×11 in).
