As I Fade with It

A figure clings tightly to itself, as if trying to endure the weight of emotions that can no longer be carried quietly.

The body twists inward, holding itself together while something inside slowly begins to unravel.
It is not a gesture of comfort, but one of pressure — the kind that comes from continuing to hold onto feelings that have nowhere left to go.

Soft marks drift outward from the figure, causing the boundaries of the body to gradually disappear.
The more tightly the emotion is held, the more the self seems to fade with it.

This work captures the moment in which a person becomes consumed by what they carry, until even their own presence begins to dissolve into it.

I hope this piece quietly becomes a presence that stays with you through emotions that have long remained unspoken.
