This piece began as a character pose exploration, focusing on gesture, balance, and personality through form. Building on that foundation, I experimented with lighting and color to test how a minimal palette could be used to create dynamic visual impact. By working with large blocks of light and shadow, I aimed to heighten contrast and drama while maintaining clarity and mood.

The result is a study in how simplicity, both in palette and composition, can amplify storytelling. This piece reflects my ongoing interest in using visual restraint to emphasize character presence and emotional tone.
