Exhaustion
A naked female body is held by an oversized hand, suggesting both support and surrender. The figure appears heavy, almost collapsing into the gesture that contains her.
This work reflects on exhaustion, not only physical, but also emotional and social. The hand can be read as external care or internal holding, questioning where support comes from. It explores the need to be carried, to pause and to exist without resistance in a state of vulnerability.
