“Vanishing” is a painted record of the moment when suffering stops being just an emotion and becomes a process of disintegration. The face, tightened in a spasm of overwhelming feeling, is no longer a stable form — it begins to blend into the white background, as if gradually losing its contours.
This is a work about the disappearance of the self: of identity, certainty, and the body. About a moment when a person becomes so overloaded by emotion that they start to dissolve into it, like dissolving into light.
The subtle texture of the linen canvas reinforces this effect, suggesting a slow melting of form into matter. The yellow, violet, and the single blue tear become traces of the last remaining emotions — the final echoes before they vanish.
“Vanishing” is not a scream.
A moment when one stops fighting and begins to disappear.
