In a chilly, industrial space of raw concrete stands a naked woman, her fragile figure illuminated by a mysterious, warm glow. On her head rests a large lampshade, which diffuses soft diffused light, as if she were a living lamp herself. Her skin captures the warmth of the light, giving her a surreal, almost ethereal appearance amid the grey, chilly surroundings. A single electricity cable winds from the wall to her body, like a lifeline connecting her to an invisible energy source. The room is empty except for a few shadows dancing through the faint light on the walls. Her pose is static, almost serene, as if she has surrendered to her role as a source of light in this desolate space. Is she an object or a being of flesh and blood? The painting raises questions about connection, identity and the fragile boundary between man and machine.
