An acrylic drawing of a bird on paper. With a few delicate touches, the presence of a living creature emerges, almost by chance, almost on its own. The line does not try to control but to listen, allowing the form to appear and disappear at the same time. The bird seems whole for a moment, then dissolves again into stains and lines. There is an attempt here to hold onto this fragility, to that moment when a drawing becomes a breathing body. Not an exact description, but a one-time appearance, like a small flash of life on the surface of the paper.
