Handshake

Two heads are spread across opposite sides of the canvas, yet they share one body – a common, tense body, like the space between them.

The face of the first creature is devoid of its usual form: a single eye is shifted upwards, and a growth of stars sprouts from its crown, while inside everything remains rough and enclosed, with ears that grow into themselves. The other creature extends a hand over these stars, and the first grasps it not with fingers, but with the starry growth itself. With its other hand-wing, it reaches downwards, as if balancing this gesture between earth and air. This handshake is not about contact – it is an attempt to touch through what divides.
