Oil on canvas
30 × 60 in
Inscribed on side: I will not forsake you
A solitary figure occupies an elongated landscape, physically present yet emotionally remote. Painted after the end of a long-distance relationship, the portrait turns distance into both subject and structure: the space surrounding the figure becomes as important as the figure himself.
The inscription on the side of the canvas—I will not forsake you—introduces a private promise that complicates the image without resolving it. The painting holds communication and silence, intimacy and withdrawal, within the same extended field.
