Wistful Thinking

ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The expression sits somewhere between curiosity and reflection. Loose, searching marks build a face that feels human in its stillness. There is a sense of pause here; a moment of quiet contemplation that invites the viewer to consider how thin the line really is between us.

Medium: Pen on paper
Category: Abstract World
