Eyes closed wide
Eyes Closed Wide” portrays a feminine figure immersed in an inner search. The lace represents tradition, memory, and roots, while the tattoos introduce a modern, personal, and expressive layer. Together they create a duality — day and night, past and present, surface and depth. With her eyes closed, she turns inward, seeking truth and spiritual clarity from within.
