Breathe

about

‘Breathe’ features a contemplative figure curled in a protective posture, rendered with delicate and intricate linework. The subject’s position, with arms wrapped around the knees and head bowed, conveys a sense of introspection and emotional weight.

The surrounding gold leaf background adds an ethereal glow, contrasting beautifully with the muted tones of the pencil-drawn figure. This luminous backdrop elevates the piece, cradling the figure in a warm, protective light.

The title suggests a moment of pause and reflection, symbolising the search for calm amidst internal struggles. The interplay between the raw, fragile human form and the radiant background highlights the delicate balance between vulnerability and transcendence, with the act of breathing serving as a reminder to find grounding in life’s complexities.

This artwork captures the resilience of the human spirit, intertwining emotional depth with physicality to create a powerful narrative of quiet strength within vulnerability.
