vitiligo

This drawing is an ode to contrasts.


To the light that passes through the skin, to the traces that the body bears without noise, without injury.
He's talking about vitiligo. — This pigmentation that fades away in places, as if the body voluntarily left room for emptiness, clarity, and another relief.

I wanted to make this singularity visible, as a precious variation. An intimate mapping. Each discoloured area becomes a gesture of light on the skin, a natural, unique, moving pattern.

Vitiligo tells another form of beauty — inhabited, alive. He says the difference, the softness, and the force to expose as it is, even when the outside look is wavering.

A skin that asserts, in its contrasts, as a work in itself.
