In Echos, the face appears enclosed within a circular field of light, emerging from a dense, dark surface built through the slow process of etching on zinc. The tightly woven network of engraved lines surrounds the figure, creating a deep, textured space from which the portrait seems to surface gradually.The circular composition isolates the face, separating it from the surrounding field and giving the image a sense of interior focus. The closed eyes and softened features suggest a state of reflection, as though the figure exists in a private dimension. The contrast between the luminous circle and the darker ground reinforces the feeling of distance between the inner world of the figure and his external space.The accumulation of lines records the passage of time, transforming the act of engraving into a meditative process in which the figure emerges slowly, suspended between presence, memory, and silence.Etching on zincPlate size: 30 x 20 cmPaper size: 50 x 35 cmEdition of 10
