The face arrives almost whole and, in the same instant, comes apart.
One eye holds a blue that is too precise for the flesh around it; the other withdraws until it is only a point, as if sight had already begun to leave the body.
The mouth stays open, without voice, on the threshold between a gesture and what the gesture cannot reach.
What can be measured in a face — skin, pupil, breath — and what slips away in the act of looking.
The image does not fix a person. It fixes the moment when the figure is still matter and already absence, a way of touching what will not be held.
