River

There is a quiet intensity in this work, a moment where tension flows rather than breaks.

The figure holds itself in a restrained gesture, the hand at the neck suggesting both control and vulnerability. Colour moves across the body in measured strokes, while the background remains calm, allowing the form to carry the emotional weight.

The interruptions of red and layered marks introduce a sense of rhythm, almost like a current moving beneath the surface. Nothing in this piece is explosive, yet everything feels active, as if something is being held just beneath control.

River is about movement within stillness, about what flows quietly through the body without ever fully revealing itself.
