Stars for Silent Witness

Printmaking

A pale, arresting face emerges from textured fields of ink, its gaze direct yet guarded, framed by a halo-like arc that suggests both sanctity and erasure. The red stars punctuating the cheeks act as intimate marks—ornament and interruption—hinting at identity while refusing full disclosure. Through restraint and repetition, the work balances vulnerability with anonymity, inviting closeness while holding something back.
