A gesture of motion, refusal, and essence
This abstract ink drawing captures a human figure mid-motion—fluid, uncontained, and sovereign. The lines do not describe anatomy. They evoke energy. Each stroke resists realism, choosing instead to honour movement as truth.
The figure leans, extends, escapes. It is not fixed. It is not framed.
This is autonomy: the right to move, to distort, to define oneself beyond expectation.
Echoing themes from The Escape Artist by Jonathan Freebland, this piece becomes a meditation on refusal—refusal to be still, refusal to be simplified. The ink splatters are not accidents. They are declarations.
