About the work

A restrained textured composition in which a vertical fracture barely disturbs the integrity of the surface. Hidden mosaic fragments only hint at the presence of an inner layer, turning the crack into a thin border between outer calm and inner tension.

The work explores a state of fragile balance, where the tear becomes not a gesture of destruction but a form of holding and connection.
