Veil Across the Gaze

Veil Across the Gaze

Acrylic painting

A solitary feminine figure emerges from a dark, restless ground, her eyes bound by a thick band that denies recognition while inviting intimacy. The contrast between pale hair, muted blues, and the obscured face evokes vulnerability suspended between presence and erasure. Through concealment, the painting suggests how anonymity can become a form of quiet resistance and self-protection.
