[Let Me Not See]
In a world not worth beholding, I turn my gaze inward. This self-portrait, drawn in ink on kraft paper, reflects a personal, tragic moment reminiscent of Oedipus’ self-blinding in Sophocles’ tragedy. Sometimes, to protect the heart and soul, we must close our eyes to what could wound us and seek refuge within ourselves. This is not a torment, but a balm.
