Vestige captures a harrowing encounter: the pale, delicate hand of a Western figure holds the frail fingers of a severely malnourished child.
The visual contrast is immediate and arresting — privilege meets suffering, excess meets absence.
This drawing becomes a quiet indictment of global inequality, revealing how proximity to crisis is too often abstracted by comfort.
In the skeletal grip of the child lies a legacy of colonial extraction, humanitarian failure, and media desensitisation.
The title, Vestige, speaks to what remains: the trace of connection, the residue of conscience, and the question of what — if anything — survives exploitation with dignity intact.
