A singer leans into the song, headphones framing her face as she lifts a microphone and looks towards the light. A coral waveform travels across the deep blue background, echoing the rise and fall of her voice.
The finished painting and its pencil-and-ink sketch show two moments in the same act of making: the first carries the warmth and force of performance; the second reveals the searching lines beneath it. Together, they trace how a voice takes shape before it reaches the room.
