Self-reflection

Self-reflection stages a collision between devotion and doubt, where a public idol is crossed out and replaced by the quieter labor of looking inward. Text becomes a scar on the surface, insisting that belief can be edited.

Rendered in smoky monochrome, the figure holds still while the image frays at the edges, as if memory is rewriting itself in real time. Tenderness persists in the small offering at the center, resisting the grit around it.
