Are you a dead ghost or a living ghost?

Are you a dead ghost or a living ghost?
Your face echoed
With forgotten asymmetry.
Do I haunt you like you haunt me?

Contemporary tempera spectral portrait exploring presence, absence, and the in‑between states of being. A nude woman looks at the moon, shadowy figures and figurative echoes surround her.
A temporal haunting.

(And here’s a video on painting this piece.)
