Description: Souza’s characteristic bold and fragmented lines define “Two Figures,” rendering two distinct yet connected forms. The figures, seemingly contained within a defined space with a suggestion of a framed element, exude a sense of both presence and alienation. The raw, almost primal quality of the drawing invites contemplation on themes of human relationship, isolation, and the complexities of identity within a social context. The stark simplicity amplifies the emotional weight of the subject.
