Prayer

Their arms hooked under/around the insides of the knees and hands resting on the lower shin.

Focuses on the musculature of the figure’s shoulders, legs, and four hands.

Grief

Grayscale painting depicting a human figure sitting on the ground in a posture of grief or pain. Though their face and front face the viewer, the figure’s right arm (viewer’s left) obscures the face. The figure’s left leg (viewer’s right) crosses their body, obscuring the figure’s lower torso and hips. The figure’s left hand holds their right upper arm, and their right leg is folded underneath them as the figure “sits” on it. The figure’s feet have been replaced with hands, the one on the end of the left leg is splayed on the ground, the one on the end of the right leg clenched in a fist. This painting focuses on the musculature of the figure’s legs and the emotion conveyed through the body’s posture.
