The Weight of Absence

This work stems from the need to visualize a pain that cannot always be explained with words. It is not about visible or concrete suffering, but rather that state in which a person is trapped by what they have lost, feeling disoriented, absorbed by an all-encompassing emotion. The figure neither screams nor resists; it simply remains, carrying an absence that weighs more than it seems. Body and space merge, as happens when pain blurs the boundaries between who we are and what we feel. The Weight of Absence speaks of that void that leaves its mark, of what is no longer there but continues to occupy a deep place, a feeling inherent to the process of being alive.
