Description
Rendered in Hersey’s signature hand-drawn linework, softened by muted washes of colour that drift between melancholy blues, greys, and flesh tones, these portraits evoke both tenderness and futility. The figures’ poses—crouched, curled, or hung upside-down—suggest containment or retreat, a physical manifestation of spiritual fatigue. There’s a quiet dignity to their stillness, but also a kind of surrender; these are not subjects of rebellion, but witnesses to a slow undoing.
