A fantastical drawing about meeting a mocking guardian in the labyrinth of the world
The graphic work “Lost, are you?” is executed in the technique of detailed drawing, where reality intertwines with fantastic imagination.

The surrounding space simultaneously resembles architectural ruins and the growing tissue of a living organism: a network of nodes, openings, and entanglements creates a complex, almost biomechanical environment. The monochrome execution emphasizes the atmosphere of mystery and unsettling fairytale quality. The work is perceived as a visual metaphor of a lost human being, encountered by a guardian spirit or trickster who questions and tests them
