Editor: So, this is "Untitled" by Emmerico Nunes, a drawing in ink. It’s... surprisingly melancholic, even though the style is quite cartoony. Something about the body language and the setting creates that feeling, I think. What catches your eye when you look at it? Curator: It’s funny you say that because I feel a bittersweet nostalgia tugging at me. Think about this scene as a farewell embrace – the exaggerated features of the characters tell us something about repressed emotions. The weight of the moment rendered with humor. Does that resonate with you? Editor: Definitely, the way everyone is positioned contributes a lot to the narrative! It seems that everyone, even the dog, feels melancholic. Where do you think this comic take us? Is it personal, or is it meant to be more universal? Curator: Maybe both? Sketches like these often bubble up from personal wells. Look at the setting - isn’t it incredibly specific? But the feeling of parting, that lump in your throat when you’re trying to be brave - that’s universal, wouldn’t you agree? And the umbrella neatly stacked... like they have already prepared for what's to come. Editor: I agree! It almost seems frozen, a mix of a cartoon and theatre. Do you think it matters that we don't know its real title? Is the 'untitled' on purpose, letting each of us find our own connection with the drawing and explore our personal reflections on it? Curator: Absolutely. Absence can be powerful, you know? The title left blank…it beckons us to fill in the gaps with our stories. We’re invited to project our own experiences onto these characters. Clever, isn’t it? Editor: That’s a really insightful way to look at it! It changed how I see the piece. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! Isn't it amazing when art cracks open like that and whispers secrets?
