A vertical gathering of figures bound within a narrow, ascending structure.
Above them hangs a full moon — luminous, detached, and watchful.

The moon does not illuminate gently. It exposes.
The figures appear suspended between earth and revelation, their bodies interwoven, their gazes lifted yet uncertain.

Rendered in egg tempera, charcoal, and pastel, the surface vibrates in raw sienna and ember tones, while the moon introduces a quiet counterpoint — cool, distant, inevitable.

This is not a narrative scene.
It is a state of being:
