Seyda Alkin United Kingdom Painting

Artwork title : Immersed

This painting depicts a suspended moment of vulnerability and containment. The submerged figure appears caught between presence and erasure, with the obscured face preventing direct identification. The bath functions as both a domestic object and a psychological space — a site of retreat, exposure, and pause.
 
The work explores how the body interacts with its environment, emphasizing intimacy, isolation, and the quiet tension of being held within a confined space.
