Description: This work reflects on the quiet presence of absence. A silhouetted male figure embraces a woman, yet he is not fully there - he symbolizes someone who could have been a part of her life, but for reasons unspoken, remains unreachable. The woman stands still, composed, her face revealing no emotion, but her expression speaks volumes as she has witnessed much, endured silently. The patterned backdrop of teardrops evokes the quiet, repetitive grief of letting go. Each drop marks a memory, possibility, or loss, forming a meditative rhythm of emotional release. The work explores themes of lost love, emotional distance, and the quiet mourning of unrealised connection.
