The artwork depicts a human face with closed eyes, rendered in overlapping and restless charcoal lines. The features—brow, nose, and lips—are fragmented and redefined multiple times, giving the impression of inner turmoil or shifting identity. The heavy, dark outlines contrast with the smudged, softer shading beneath, creating depth and a sense of movement. The closed eyes suggest introspection, sorrow, or weariness, while the fractured contours make the face feel both vulnerable and unsettled.

The overall aesthetic is expressive and abstract, blurring the line between portraiture and emotional landscape.
