In this work, the fall is not merely a physical mishap but a moment of revelation.

The ghostly silhouettes emerging - in a faint, almost spectral sequence - represent a single figure at
different stages of rising.

The horse, outlined in reddish tones, lies in the foreground as a symbol of drive, power, and also
vulnerability.

The scene is rendered through a technique combining acrylic paint and textile collage, elements that
bring both texture and layers of narrative.

In the background, a spotted boar seems to ignore the central event, reinforcing the sense of
isolation in the subject's trance of falling and recovering.
