In this piece, I aimed to capture a serene yet introspective moment under a summer night sky. The figure blends realism and symbolism, with dark hues against a twilight backdrop evoking mystery and depth. The floral pattern on the dress complements her quiet strength and gentleness, suggesting a narrative of resilience and grace. The other night, for the first time since the war began, I went out at night despite the curfew. I couldn't sleep, and there was no electricity. The city center was quiet and dark, creating a surreal feeling. For texture a layer of textured paste with small glass particles is applied and then sanded for smoothness.
