You have captured the mist of myself | Original Drawing

“You Have Captured the Mist of Myself”
Chalk on Paper, 2024

Experience the raw emotive power of this original drawing by Josh Hernandez (Mad Charcoal). In this deeply introspective work, the figure emerges from an ethereal mist, their form both dissolving and materializing within the shadows. The delicate strokes capture a face that appears to fade into an undefined void, evoking the transient nature of identity and existence. This haunting piece reflects the fragility of self-awareness in a world of constant flux, inviting viewers to contemplate their own fleeting presence.

As part of the Veil of Mortality, the Lament of the Infinite collection, “You Have Captured the Mist of Myself” encapsulates the tension between the seen and unseen, challenging us to grasp the essence of our existence like mist that vanishes with the light of day.
