Emotionally, this work is quiet but piercing. The faint lines seem fragile, almost hesitant, as if they could vanish at any moment—mirroring the fragility of life. The “stitches” intensify this mood: they carry a suggestion of violence endured, wounds patched, and survival despite suffering. Unlike the first image (full of dense cross-hatching and restless energy), this one is almost meditative. It feels like Somnath Hore has stripped away all unnecessary detail to present the bare essence of pain and endurance.
