Carry To Convey Dry Pastel Expressionist Drawing

This graphite-drenched figure bends inward as if gravity were emotional as much as physical, the bowed head and compressed torso turning the body into a quiet vessel of burden and retreat. Surrounding it, sweeping, ribbon-like arcs carve the space into intersecting currents—half shelter, half restraint—so the background reads like an atmosphere pressing in rather than a room receding. The disciplined chiaroscuro models flesh with a tender severity, while the fractured planes at the margins suggest a world that has become angular and precarious, leaving the human form to negotiate its own fragile center.
