Description:

"Instinct doesn’t shout — it whispers. And when we listen, we know the way."

Instinct is the sound before the noise, the gesture before the step, the feeling before the knowing.

Only a fragment of the animal is revealed — but within it, everything is present. The attentive ear, the steady eye, the curve of the face create a portrait suspended between stillness and alertness. This is not a figure to be merely observed; it is a figure that observes. It watches without blinking, as if attuned to an invisible frequency.

The white background amplifies the visual silence, and the pointillism and hatching work builds a serene tension — crafted with patience, precision, and presence. There is no haste. No sound. Just absolute attention.

Instinct speaks of what we feel before we understand.
It is biological memory, ancestral awareness, the invisible radar that never fails.
