Saline Solitude
Description:
An intimate and quiet study of presence and withdrawal. This original graphite and charcoal drawing, part of the series captured from video stills at the Dead Sea, explores the internal state of the performer as they navigate the dense, crystalline waters.
The figure is captured in a moment of subtle movement, where the boundaries between the body and its reflection begin to blur. Drawn on textured A5 paper, the work utilizes the warm tones of the background to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the dancer's silhouette as it emerges from the haze of the salt flats. It is a meditation on the individual's journey within a vast and silent landscape, focusing on the stillness that exists even in motion.
