The work features contemporary photographic details, with an abstract matrix, pervaded by the figure of a Japanese geisha from the Meiji era (1868–1912). Illustrated with India ink glazes, the female figure is portrayed from behind, suspended between immobility and movement, her gaze enraptured by a thought.
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”.
