“Piercing Through the Fog”
Chalk on Paper, 2024
Experience the raw emotive power of this original drawing by Josh Hernandez (Mad Charcoal). In “Piercing Through the Fog,” a figure’s gaze emerges from a chalky haze, haunting yet irresistibly alluring, drawing the viewer into its depths. The subtle play of light and shadow cloaks the face in mystery, as if the figure itself is caught between worlds—part flesh, part specter. The soft, textured strokes of chalk evoke a swirling fog, through which the figure’s eyes cut like beacons, revealing an intensity that feels both familiar and ungraspable.
As part of the Veil of Mortality, the Lament of the Infinite collection, this work calls to mind the tension between the seen and unseen, the known and unknown. “Piercing Through the Fog” invites viewers to confront the aspects of ourselves we cannot fully comprehend yet cannot look away from. The figure’s penetrating gaze lingers, suggesting that within life’s shadows lie the fragments of clarity we seek, waiting to be seen.
