Week #23 | Sketch of the Week is by JASONPOGO

This minimalist black-and-white drawing presents three stitched-together balloon-like faces, each with closed eyes and downturned mouths. The central face is smaller and slightly recessed, with a dot below its mouth suggesting subtle variation. Fine lines and dotted sutures connect the forms, creating a sense of fragile unity. The composition is symmetrical yet emotionally charged, using simple shapes to evoke melancholy and interdependence. The absence of background and shading focuses attention on expression and structure. The mood is somber and introspective, with the stitched edges hinting at shared vulnerability or emotional entanglement.
