Stairs of Sorrow

This artwork, created with the scratchboard technique, masterfully illustrates the themes of loneliness and isolation. The artist employs high contrast and bold, fragmented lines to emphasize the feeling of inner turmoil and emotional weight. The central figure, seated in a hunched posture on the steps, hides their face in their hands, wrapped in a cloth that adds to the sense of withdrawal and detachment from the outside world. These details, alongside a dark ambiance and muted colors, powerfully convey an atmosphere of silence, solitude, and inner suffering. The bold and occasionally fragmented lines symbolize deep scars and lasting psychological impacts, giving the image a cold, stark rhythm. This portrayal invites the viewer to reflect on the concept of isolation and its profound effects on the human spirit.
