🖌️👁️ "Owing to the Absence 31" is an artwork that explores the echoes of identity through abstract forms and intriguing textures. Painted in ink on handmade paper, the circular composition measures 41x39 cm (16x15.6 inches). The piece reveals a face partially obscured by textured layers that suggest presence and absence, inviting you to contemplate the connection between visible and hidden. 🖌️👁️
🎨🌑 The monochromatic palette enhances the mysterious aura, with contrasting shades and intricate textures drawing the eye into the artwork's depths. The uneven edges of the circular paper add an organic quality to the piece, emphasizing the imperfect, transient nature of memory and identity. The fluidity of the ink strokes suggests movement and transformation as if the image is continuously shifting and evolving. 🎨🌑

🌿🤔 This work is part of my ongoing series, "Owing to the Absence," - which began in 2022 - where I explore themes of identity, memory, and perception. Using ink on handmade paper, I aim to create a visceral connection between the viewer and the artwork, allowing the textures and forms to resonate personally. The ambiguous figure captured within the circular frame encourages introspection, urging us to reflect on our perceptions and the layers of identity we all possess. 🌿🤔
