Open-edition print
2026, New York · Original: colored pencil on paper.
Pinned Eye (2026) reduces the face to a few spare lines, but the expression carries the weight of lived pressure. The slanted profile, sharpened features, and suspended gaze suggest a person shaped by the repeated demands of daily life, fatigue, vigilance, routine, and the quiet labor of holding oneself together. The eye, boxed in and fixed, feels less descriptive than symbolic: a sign of attention under strain, watchful because it has to be. Small stitch-like marks along the outline make the figure appear lightly fastened, as if identity here is not stable but constantly maintained. The result is both fragile and exact, a portrait of how ordinary pressures leave their mark on the face.
