Face to Face stages a quiet confrontation between strength and vulnerability. A crowned lion and a seated figure meet at eye level, surrounded by fragmented phrases, symbols, and restless marks that turn the canvas into a kind of internal dialogue. “The king stays king” sits against the question “Safe? No, good,” suggesting that growth does not always come from choosing what feels comfortable. The work considers what it means to face fear, uncertainty, and change without looking away. Neither figure dominates the encounter. Instead, they remain together in the tension, watching, listening, and learning.
