This portrait of a monk draws on Northern Gothic realism, inviting the viewer into a space of silent reflection and routine that marks out every day. Divided through prayer: he kneels, chants, breathes. At midnight. At dawn. At each turn of the sun.
A grasshopper disrupts the solemnity, adding a curious counterpoint. Interpretations of a grasshopper have represented everything from freedom and spiritual insight to impertinence and divine messengers. This piece balances spiritual austerity with a longing for freedom.
