Untitled 

Graca Morais created this untitled drawing with expressive lines and a muted palette, constructing a scene that feels both intimate and unsettling. The composition revolves around two dominant figures, rendered with thick charcoal strokes that emphasize their forms, yet leave them partially obscured. The artist skillfully employs a limited range of colors—earthy browns, pale yellows, and stark whites—to create a sense of depth and shadow. These visual choices not only draw us into the personal space of the figures but also hint at deeper emotional undercurrents. The figures’ ambiguous poses, coupled with the raw texture of the charcoal, challenge conventional notions of representation. Morais is not just depicting bodies; she's exploring the complex interplay between form and feeling, presence and absence. Consider how the formal qualities of the artwork—its incompleteness, its tonal contrasts—function as a means of destabilizing fixed meanings. It becomes a space where the act of seeing itself becomes a form of interpretation.
