A face emerges from cool grey-blue tones. Still, almost motionless.
But the eyes are alert.
Black beneath dark eyelids, they look directly at the viewer – calm, intense, without evasion.
The dark red mouth remains closed, as if holding back words.
Dark red and grey strands frame the face like traces of movement around a still core.
Everything seems to pause for a moment.
A brief glance – and yet a whole moment.
