2025, Soft pastel on PastelMat board, 42 × 60 cm.
Her face bears the weight of an unspoken struggle. Eyes closed, expression marked by grief, sorrow, and exhaustion, as if every buried burden has surfaced all at once. There is no performance here, no posture, no display. Just a woman surrendering to a truth she can no longer carry in silence.
Within that stillness unfolds a universal dialogue between sorrow and light, grief and grace, despair and the faintest trace of hope. A fragile moment where the heart reveals what the mind can no longer hide.
This Magdalene transcends faith; she becomes a mirror of human emotion, a reflection of the soul carrying the weight of its own story.
