About this artwork

It is not so much a realistic portrait as a symbolic icon of introspection — a reflection of emotions and internal states. The painting not only depicts a female figure but also an existential timeline that divides our identity into who we were and who we can become. The bird — a witness and guide — reminds us that between the past and the future, there is only one place: the uncertain present. The artist paints a psychological space — a metaphorical portrait of a state of suspension.
