Artwork description

The drawing titled Shooting Star captures a raw moment of vulnerability and despair. The figure is curled into a tight, protective ball, resting their head on their knees in a posture that conveys emotional withdrawal. The individual appears overwhelmed, as if the weight of the world has forced them into retreat. The sharp contrasts between light and dark create a sense of isolation, amplifying the solitude the figure experiences.

The artist uses soft pencil strokes to evoke emotion, with gentle shading on the figure’s body suggesting both the contours of their form and the burden they carry. The surrounding dark background further accentuates the internal turmoil, enveloping the person in a void that seems to stretch endlessly. The subtle play of light on the figure's face and body contrasts with the heavy darkness around, representing a fleeting glimmer of hope in a moment of crisis.

Through minimalistic yet impactful composition, the drawing conveys a powerful sense of isolation and inner struggle. The simplicity of the medium and technique invites the viewer to reflect on moments of personal pain, where the brightest light in one’s life may feel like a distant, fading star.
