About the Item

In Between captures the quiet struggle of holding things in. With one eye hidden and the other peeking through a tangle of colorful fingers, the figure reflects the push and pull between speaking out and staying silent. Each finger, painted in a different color, hints at emotions too layered to name. The Ankara backdrop pulses softly, like a heartbeat of memory and identity. This piece is about the inner battles we all carry, the moments between strength and softness, noise and stillness. It’s a glimpse into the private journeys no one else sees. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube. This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
