Wake Up - 2 (B)

Part of a figure series exploring the moment of waking — the body rousing from sleep, incomplete in its alertness, caught between two states of consciousness. The "B" designation indicates a variant state or colorway. Ono's figure works, though less celebrated than his urban landscapes, display the same economy of means: a human condition reduced to its essential visual elements, rendered with graphic directness that avoids illustration while achieving something like psychological truth.
