Chaos bil راحة  

(2020) by Karma Malhas 

 

This series is based on figure study ink drawings I first produced in 2013, which were lost in transit in 2017. For this magazine I’ve decided to recreate them in a different form, as self portraits. The practice of self reflection through drawing brings some lightheartedness and humor into everyday settings. For example, you can see I have an aversion to pants. During such an overwhelming period of time, it seems I’ve mastered the ability to lounge and comfortably contort into whichever couch I’ve chosen. This series showcases the contrast between the outer and inner world, the calm in the chaos and the chaos in the calm.
