In “Lines of Wisdom,” the human face coexists with stacked books, as if the figure has been shaped through layers of knowledge, memory, and experience. The horizontal lines of the books interrupt and at the same time complete the face, creating an image where thought becomes part of identity itself.

The gaze, partly hidden between the pages, becomes a point of inner observation. The work speaks of the knowledge that shapes a person, the stories carried within, and the wisdom that does not appear suddenly, but is gradually built, line by line, over time.
