This work portrays a crowned figure standing in a quiet field of marks, stains, and scattered colour. The childlike crown suggests sovereignty, imagination, and self-protection, while the figure’s direct, almost guarded gaze gives the image an emotional seriousness. She appears both vulnerable and powerful: a queen of her own inner world.
The drawing balances raw black line with soft, playful colour. The body is not described realistically, but becomes a vessel for feeling. Pattern, dots, and traces move across the clothing and surrounding space like fragments of memory, weather, or thought. The turquoise form beside her reads like a shadow, spirit, animal presence, or protective force: something unspoken that belongs to her.
The work explores identity as something layered and unfinished. It speaks of childhood, dignity, isolation, and inner strength. The crown is not a symbol of status, but of survival and self-recognition. The figure stands calmly within chaos, carrying both fragility and authority.
