This work evokes those
particular moments where individuals share a single space while remaining
profoundly alone, a form of collective solitude proper to the non-places
described by Marc Augé. Between physical proximity and inner distance, the work
captures this suspended experience of urban movement: trajectories that brush
past one another without ever truly meeting. Two prominent, almost spectral
faces dominate the central composition, their features rendered through
subtractive engraving. One figure, slightly positioned to the left, appears to
be a man, while the other, to the right, is a woman, perhaps on the telephone,
as suggested by the gesture of her hand near her ear. These human forms are not
sharply defined but emerge instead from the chaos of torn paper and paint,
embodying the transitory and often anonymous nature of urban identity. The work
thus explores the fleeting moments and hidden narratives within the urban
fabric.
