Carry Wood

A figure in a bright green shirt stands against a field of golden wheat, balancing a large bundle of wood upon their head. The composition is vertically organised, with the figure positioned centrally, their gaze directed upward with evident strain. The palette of warm earth tones and vibrant green creates a poignant tension between the figure and their labour. Rendered in acrylic on board, the work presents a direct, figurative study of rural work.
