This piece offers a deeply personal glimpse into my internal world—reflecting the emotional landscape I was navigating at the time. The figure is shown with her back turned, a symbolic gesture that evokes both mystery and intimacy, as well as detachment and isolation. It suggests the presence of something withheld or hidden, inviting the viewer to sense rather than see the full story.The candle serves as a counterbalance—representing light, hope, and guidance amidst emotional uncertainty. Its glow introduces a sense of quiet drama, illuminating the contrast between vulnerability and resilience.Overall, the work captures a moment of introspection, where light and shadow coexist, mirroring the complexity of inner experience.
