"Beer in Palmovka 1"

from the Prague series

A single figure stands in public space.
A cloth covers the mouth and nose; a glass of beer is held.

A street scene in Palmovka unfolds in the background.
The beer remains present, the act of drinking suspended.
The body appears paused, between habit and newly learned caution.

The paper cut captures a moment
in which a familiar ritual loses its ease.

Cut from lightfast paper.
Unframed.
