The Decision, 2025
A lone yellow figure sits quietly with its head lowered and one hand resting against its face. Its posture suggests a moment of deep thought, perhaps weighing a difficult chice. Dark gray and black shapes frame the figure, while a band of vivid blue along the foreground adds a striking contrast to the otherwise subdued setting.
Unlike the compositions featuring several interacting figures, this work focuses on a single person. With no one else present, attention turns to the figure's posture and the emotions it might express.
The title suggests that an important choice lies ahead, although nothing reveals what that choice involves. This uncertainty gives the work a quiet sense of anticipation. The moment feels familiar: a person alone with their thoughts, considering what to do next.
