This painting depicts a woman seated near an open window, absorbed in reading. Light filters gently through sheer curtains, softening the interior and dissolving the boundary between inside and outside.

The figure is fully present in her inner world. Reading becomes an act of pause—a quiet withdrawal from external noise and urgency. The surrounding space supports stillness, allowing time to slow and attention to deepen.

The work reflects intimacy, contemplation, and the quiet nourishment of solitude. It portrays reading not as escape, but as presence—an encounter with oneself within a calm, luminous environment.
