Untitled, 30 x 21.2 cm, 2024, pencil on deckle-edge paper

This artwork by Kaja Meyer, captures a delicate moment of profound tranquility and exhaustion. Created using pencil on soft, textured deckle-edge paper, the drawing presents a figure lying supine, with limbs relaxed and stretched out in an almost weightless suspension. Around this figure, multiple abstracted, slender forms seem to cradle or lift it, each topped with a subtle, glowing yellow aura, like a flickering candlelight. These candle-like forms suggest a ritualistic, reverent atmosphere, illuminating the figure with a soft, ethereal glow.
The simplicity of Meyer's lines emphasizes vulnerability and a surrender to rest, conveying "absolute calm – absolute exhaustion." The image radiates a sense of peace that borders on the spiritual, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of solitude, release, and perhaps transcendence. The subtle glow around each form further enhances this meditative mood, creating a delicate contrast to the rawness of pencil on paper.
