The technique emphasizes contrast in gesture and emotion through a minimalist yet expressive composition.

*Unanswered* is a tale of one-sided connection—one figure reaching, trying, leaning in, while the other remains still and detached. The piece speaks to the fragility of unbalanced relationships: when one gives and the other only observes. The chain between them does not bind—it reminds us of pressure, repetition, and emotional erosion.
