The silhouette, reclining on its side, seems to be gradually dissolving. It is as if someone, deep in dark thoughts, was about to disappear in a puddle of murky mire. The work’s depressive mood is almost contagious. It captures the dynamics of depression, without petrifying the viewer. The glistening material, perfectly enhances the impression of a person ‘dissolving’ in sorrow. From one moment to the next, the figure is losing all semblance of humanity and turning into a formless black hole.
