Oil pastel on newsprint, 2024.
Figure submerged and spilling out of a tub-like form with a lip and filled with translucent light blue. The figure has crossed legs, dropped stubby arm, and one half circle for a closed eye. The head is leaning on the lip. The tub and figure are at the bottom quarter of the vertical newsprint page, set against a medium orange layer of pastel that covers most of the page leaving an even frame of the paper itself.
