‘Firmament’, 2015, miniature drawing, 9cm Ø, pencil on paper

A drawing I made three years back. Making figures with entire worlds on their heads or bodies is a recurring theme in my work. It expresses the idea that every person is an entire world, carrying with him or her the experiences of a lifetime, the places visited, the people met. In a sense each person is much more than meets the eye, a chronicle of life and a chapter of the universe.
