A reclining form stretches across a sharply divided field of colour, caught between exposure and repose. The body is rendered with blunt contours and assertive colour, resisting idealisation in favour of weight and presence. Blue and green planes act less as setting than as psychological zones, framing the figure without containing it. The image balances sensuality with unease: intimate, grounded, and quietly resistant to passivity. Early in the artist’s practice, the body is still recognisable - but already unsettled.
