Solitude

“Solitude” portrays the stillness of an elderly man encompassed by a shadow-filled room. His shoulders, burdened by the weight of years, are hunched under the accumulation of time and lost opportunities that have slipped away. Although his eyes are closed, they betray an inner struggle with remorse, depicting a life filled with belated realizations of roads not taken. The expansive negative space around him offers a dual sense of comfort and condemnation—providing a sanctuary for his introspection, yet underscoring the emptiness of his present and the mourning for time irrevocably passed.

When I create, I carefully consider the human anatomy and draw inspiration from gothic aesthetics and the meticulous color choices in Miyazaki’s animations. I do not overwork imperfections as they make my art genuine. I weave a part of my soul into each unique piece to represent my inner world.
