In my artwork, a pen drawing of the human ribcage takes centre stage, a stark yet intricate representation of the essence of life's vulnerability and strength.

The ribcage, a protective structure guarding our most vital organs, becomes a poignant symbol of the resilience inherent in our existence. To further emphasize this paradox, I overlay the drawing with woven x-ray film, creating a hauntingly beautiful and enigmatic tapestry that melds darkness and fragility. The dark aesthetic, akin to the shadows that dance upon our bones, evokes contemplation on the delicate balance between life and mortality.

Through this composition, I invite viewers to peer beyond the surface, to explore the layers of existence that bind us, reminding us that beneath the obscurity lies the enduring beauty of our innermost selves.
