Some worlds exist only within.

He is not looking at you, but beyond what can be seen, as though his thoughts have already wandered elsewhere. His calm posture contrasts with the large shadow behind him, suggesting a second reality that quietly surrounds him.

To me, this work is about everything that lives beneath the surface. About the imagination children carry so naturally. About feelings, dreams and questions that cannot always be explained, yet are instantly recognised.

Absolution invites you to look beyond the portrait itself. Sometimes what remains unseen tells the deepest story.
