Waterline

A surreal portrait about the boundary between the inner self and the outer world: water frozen at the level of the lips, crimson streaks upon dark skin and closed eyes. A work for anyone seeking a profound, philosophical accent for a study, living room or bedroom, and for collectors drawn to self-reflection.

“Waterline” is a visual confession about the boundary we draw between the self and the world. It captures a moment of frozen decision: to drown in one’s own truth or to remain on the surface at the cost of one’s voice.

The water’s edge represents social pressure and the fear of judgment. It acts as a barrier that silences the voice, turning expression into deeper immersion.

Crimson traces represent the “dark side” of the soul: concentrated energy, pain and the secrets we hide. They suggest an inner world too intense for the surface to comprehend.

Closed eyes are a symbol of absolute self-immersion. When the external world requires too much filtering, the subject chooses the sanctuary of the internal abyss.

The burden illustrates the crushing weight of thoughts that become leaden when there is no one to share them with.
