Artist Comments
A figure reclines on her stomach, gazing down at the floor in comfort. Soft light accentuates the gentle curves of her form, while the background highlights the silhouette of her face. Delicate brushstrokes and the subtle contrast between light and shadow evoke a sense of quiet intimacy.

About the Artist
Utah-based artist McGarren Flack captures everyday moments of human vulnerability through painterly realism. His career as a paramedic brings him face-to-face with people at their most helpless moments, which inspired him to contemplate the nature of being vulnerable. Whether sitting alone in a cafe or unknowingly dropping a possession on the street, the human condition is always subject to powerlessness. “It is important for me to share these scenes because I believe it will help the viewer connect to humanity,” says McGarren. “There is no escaping the feeling of vulnerability; it is blind to skin color, social status, and age.”
