Self Portrait

This work is a self-portrait by the artist, Sarah, exploring the expressive potential of light and form. The use of harsh, directional lighting creates a heightened sense of drama while emphasizing the structural planes of the face. Rooted in direct observation, the piece prioritizes what is visually perceived over preconceived notions, resulting in a study that is both disciplined and perceptually driven.
