the Space Between

Two figures meet at the center of the gaze and hold there — posture against posture, a tension that won't quite resolve. It's a confrontation, but also a conversation: the kind that happens when two ways of seeing collide and quietly change each other.

This is the human figure as I most often use it — not a likeness, but a vehicle for something existential. A man and a woman, opposing and connected, standing for the larger truth that contrast doesn't divide us, it sharpens us. Step closer and the meaning shifts toward whatever you've lived through.

A figurative graphic work, 70 × 50 cm, in a limited edition of 30 — each one signed. For collectors drawn to strong, intimate ideas rather than easy decoration.

It asks a question instead of answering it, and keeps asking, year after year.
