Held Within

Held Within is a solo exhibition exploring intimacy, vulnerability, and the quiet strength of the human form.

A single nude figure lying face down across the frame, lit from above so only the upper surfaces catch the light. The back curves away from the viewer, one arm folded beneath the head, the hip rising into the brightest part of the frame and the leg extending off to the right. Everything below the lit contour falls into black, so the body reads as an unbroken ridge of light against darkness
