The work features contemporary photographic details, abstract in nature, pervaded by the image of a Japanese bonze from the Meiji era (1868–1912). Illustrated with India ink glazes, the religious figure appears to be praying.
In the composition, you can feel the power of material and colour; at the same time, however, you are gripped by a feeling of introspection that suggests the suspension of time and favours a vision of “melancholic beauty”.
