About the series

The portrait says nothing and forgets nothing. It takes on what a man does not want to see in his own face: every choice made out of vanity, every weakness he called freedom, every cruelty he managed to keep out of sight. While the body stays young and beautiful, the payment is made somewhere else — somewhere he need not look. But the absence of witnesses does not cancel the guilt, and a hidden trace does not stop existing.

The frame becomes the border between appearance and truth. On one side, a flawless image able to provoke desire, envy and admiration. On the other, everything that had to be sacrificed to keep it. He grows used to the idea that beauty entitles him to impunity, that consequences can be postponed and conscience made to go quiet. But every new transgression changes more than the hidden portrait. Little by little it changes the man standing in front of it.

The candles count out debts rather than years. Cobweb draws itself over the body like the residue of acts that no last-minute repentance can undo. The falls accumulate unnoticed: first as a barely visible crack, then as a distortion that can no longer be taken for chance. A man may keep his outward cleanliness while decay goes on inside him regardless. The price of every desire is written down where a lie can no longer erase it.
