Thin, 2022

Thin | Award-Winning Minimalist Drawing on Female Exposure

Thin is a minimalist yet powerful graphite drawing that examines the emotional and social boundaries of modern femininity. Created with delicate pencil lines on paper and framed with a black passe-partout and protective plexiglass, the work invites viewers to reflect on the increasing transparency of our public lives.

The figure, wrapped in a flowing fabric that simultaneously conceals and reveals, walks barefoot into an undefined space—perhaps a metaphor for the modern woman navigating the exposure of identity in the digital age. The drawing speaks to the fragility of privacy and the delicate threshold between self-expression and overexposure.

This piece has been exhibited in three professional art shows and received 1st place at the international art competition “The Image of a Woman" in 2020.
