Exhaustion in Motion  (2025)

Ink on Lined Paper 

A raw and expressive sketch, Exhaustion in Motion captures a fleeting yet deeply relatable moment of fatigue in a modern café setting. The subject, hunched over a keyboard, appears lost in thought—her heavy-lidded gaze and slightly parted lips reflecting exhaustion and mental strain. The delicate yet hurried pen strokes emphasize the imperfection of daily life, while the scattered objects—a half-finished drink, an empty plate—subtly narrate the passage of time. The handwritten text, "What should I do...? I'm so tired, I want to leave.", reinforces the emotional weight of the piece, making it an intimate reflection of contemporary burnout and perseverance.
