Baroque Medusa

This is what remains when the hands speaks first.

A continuation of the This Is What Remains portrait haiku series, this sequence centers on hands: gesture, tension, instinct. Fingers cover, point, frame, and interrupt. These images are not symbolic for effect, but physical markers of response: what is protected, what is withheld, and what moves before thought arrives.

Black and white close-up self-portrait of Baroque Medusa forming a circle with her hand over one eye — Seeing through what’s hidden.

Black and white self-portrait of Baroque Medusa pointing at her ears, hands framing her face on a white background — There I Go Again.

Black and white self-portrait of Baroque Medusa covering her mouth with both hands, eyes exposed against a dark background — Capricorns, the emotionless enigma.

Black and white self-portrait of Baroque Medusa with hands pressed together in a prayer-like gesture — Stillness, without nostalgia.
