Leave the World Behind You

“Leave the World Behind You”
Charcoal on Paper, 2024

In Leave the World Behind You, a young girl with a doll-like face stares with an expression of poignant sadness, captured in the soft, rich texture of charcoal. Her features are delicately rendered, evoking both innocence and a haunting depth of emotion. The stark contrast between light and shadow creates an atmosphere that feels both intimate and melancholic, inviting viewers to explore the complex layers of her silent plea.

This piece, part of the Veil of Mortality, the Lament of Infinite  collection, reflects the tension between childhood innocence and the weight of unspoken sorrow. Leave the World Behind You resonates with the desire to escape from life’s burdens, urging a contemplation of the innocence that remains even amidst the pain of existence. It beckons us to reflect on what we carry within us and the longing to transcend the constraints of our earthly experiences.
