Beneath the Hands

【Original Drawing — One of a kind】

The hands partially cover the face,
as if trying to hold something back — emotion, memory, or thought.

Yet even beneath that gesture, the eyes remain open.

There is tension within the gaze.
Not a collapsing expression, but one that continues to endure, observe, and quietly confront what remains inside.

The face itself is still clearly present, while layered strokes and shifting textures create subtle distortions around it, as though emotion is beginning to surface through restraint.

This piece reflects the feeling of trying to contain something internally, while never fully turning away from it.

I hope this work quietly resonates with something within you.
