“Nothing Left to Lose” Charcoal and Ink on Paper, 2024
Experience the raw emotive power of this original drawing by Josh Hernandez (Mad Charcoal). In “Nothing Left to Lose,” the fragmented form of a young girl emerges from the page, her torso and half of her face starkly defined in dark ink. The piece’s raw simplicity speaks to a life marked by loss, each line revealing the echo of what remains. The absence of the lower half invites contemplation of her incomplete presence, as if her story lingers in the unseen, suspended in shadows.
As part of the Veil of Mortality, the Lament of the Infinite collection, this drawing resonates with the theme of surrender—the moment where attachment fades, leaving only the essence of resilience and survival. “Nothing Left to Lose” serves as a quiet yet piercing reminder of the beauty found in vulnerability and the strength that emerges when we face the unknown without fear, grounded in the belief that even amidst loss, something remains.
