The Shadow of the Depths

Series: ARTborizations
Oil on canvas
50 × 70 cm — 2025

Depth casts its own shadow before becoming visible.

In the forgotten depths, where light fades into silence, dwells a nameless form. This piece evokes the unrevealed — the presence lurking beneath the surface of the visible. The Shadow of the Depths does not portray a defined entity, but a latent presence: the ancestral, the repressed, the one that waits. A dark threshold between the inner and the abyssal.

As part of the ARTborizations series, this work explores the tension between the organic and the hidden — between vital impulse and the shadow that contains it. The shape emerges as a remnant of submerged memory that resists the causal logic of the world.

This work inspired me to write a short story.
