More about The Gesture That Holds Time: Self‑Portrait in a State of Ruin

A medium shot captures a woman adorned with a thick, heavily textured, cracked, and peeling teal-green body paint, revealing patches of her natural skin tone underneath, creating a worn, aged, and slightly reptilian appearance. She wears a tightly wrapped mustard yellow turban and a loose, flowing top in a similar mustard yellow hue. Her hands cover her face, with the fingers of her right hand resting on her left cheek and the fingers of her left hand covering her right eye and forehead, partially obscuring her face and eyes, leaving only her mouth and lower nose area visible. Her lips are a dark, rich red. The background features a textured wall with a similar teal-green color, showing signs of distressed, peeling paint and exposed reddish-brown undertones, complementing the crackled effect on the woman's skin. Her hair is a vibrant, coppery red color, with visible strands and curls escaping from her turban. The lighting is dramatic and moody, with clear shadows and highlights emphasizing the textures of the paint and her features. There is a visible watermark "© John Barry" at the bottom center of the image.
