This expressive portrait captures a figure in motion, dissolving into a soft, atmospheric field of color. The composition leans diagonally, allowing the subject to break from the centered stillness typical of my work. A haze of pastel tones on the left creates a weightless counterpoint to the saturated heat of the face and throat on the right.

The partially articulated hair amplifies the sense of movement, while the tightened eyes and open mouth suggest a moment caught between release and intensity. As an early experiment in dynamic emotion and expansive space, this piece marks a rare departure toward looseness and luminosity within my portrait practice.
