A human outline gathers light, a fallen leaf, and fragments of the surrounding world.
A figure raises both hands against a sky of red and pink. A yellow disc glows at its centre, above a dried leaf whose veins remain sharply visible. An evergreen, dark hills, and bands of green and blue surround the body, while angular pieces of colour interrupt its lower half.
The figure’s faint outline allows the landscape to pass through it. The leaf becomes part of its anatomy; the scattered shapes suggest a form still assembling itself. It seems to belong to the world so completely that separating the two would mean taking the body apart.
