Why Do I Fear? | Original Drawing

"Why Do I Fear?"
Chalk on Paper, 2024

Experience the evocative depth of Why Do I Fear?, an original drawing by Josh Hernandez (Mad Charcoal). Created with delicate, fragile strokes of chalk on sturdy 92lb (250 gsm) paper, this piece measures 22 x 30 inches (55.88 x 76.2 cm) and portrays a young girl, her figure emerging from a soft haze, embodying an unspoken vulnerability. Her downward gaze and tense posture invite viewers to ponder the quiet inner battles we all face, as she seems to confront fears that linger just beyond words.

As part of the Veil of Mortality, the Lament of the Infinite collection, Why Do I Fear? speaks to the tension between innocence and apprehension, capturing universal struggles in the solitude of our minds. Each piece is meticulously preserved, sealed with fixative, and protected with glassine to ensure it arrives in pristine condition. Packaged securely between wood panels, it includes a signed and wax-sealed certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing it reaches your collection in impeccable condition and infuses it with a haunting resonance of Hernandez’s vision.
