I Am Deriving (2026)

I am adrift (Sto derivando) In the silence of a fading world, a polar bear rests on a fragment of ice, gently carried by the currents. Above him, the vast celestial expanse unfolds its Milky Way, while a red moon watches over this solitude. There is neither fear, nor revolt, nor urgency. Only a strange serenity in the face of a world coming to an end. The bear seems to have found, in this solitude, a form of peace. As if it no longer tries to hold on to what is disappearing, but simply to be present, here and now. Between sky and sea, between vastness and fragility, this work invites us to contemplate finitude, acceptance, and the silent beauty of existence. This artwork depicts a polar bear resting on a piece of ice floating in a dark and vast space. The background is mainly black, evoking the polar night, with a bluish cloud band and a bright red circle representing a celestial body. Small touches of colored paint are visible at the bottom right, adding a subtle contrast. The minimalist composition and contrasting colors create an atmosphere both mysterious and contemplative.
