Hope To Meet At Infinity 3 Ink Pastel Figurative Drawing

Rendered in a restrained graphite palette, the work stacks five children into a quiet vertical procession, their repeated triangular kites becoming both motif and mantra—small geometries of desire held close to the mouth like a promise. The smudged ground and soft gradations of shadow suspend them in an indeterminate space, as if memory itself were the backdrop, while the crisp contouring of limbs and faces insists on the immediacy of touch, breath, and play. By varying each child’s gaze—some inward, some absent, some intent—the artist turns a simple act into a meditation on growing up: how innocence is rehearsed through ritual, and how freedom can feel at once fragile, improvised, and urgently handmade.
