"Monachopsis" delves into the feeling of being out of place or the subtle disquiet of not fitting in, as suggested by the title's meaning. The figure, with their otherworldly appearance and piercing gaze, embodies a sense of alienation and introspection. The contrast between the organic watercolor wash and the precise pen details mirrors the internal conflict between one's outer appearance and inner identity. This piece invites you to reflect on your own experiences of displacement and the quest for belonging.

Each of my original artworks features a hand-painted galaxy on the backside as a signature touch, these hidden galaxies are a special hallmark of my creations, adding an extra layer of mystery and wonder to every piece.
