Wrapped in bandages and lit with a cold, sterile blue, the subject confronts the viewer with a raw and provocative expression. Her hand, clad in a crinkled plastic glove, partially shields her eye, a gesture caught between protection and resistance. The distortion of her lips adds to the tension, hinting at discomfort, defiance, or emotional trauma. The Patient explores themes of identity, control, and the silent struggles within the clinical gaze. This evocative portrait blurs the lines between healing and harm, vulnerability and strength, making the viewer question what is seen and unseen, behind the facade of recovery.
