The Spotlight on "Sleepy Model" by Yi-li Chin Ward

Among the myriad of remarkable pieces, Enchantment emerged as a standout creation. Crafted by the artist Yi-li Chin Ward, this drawing encapsulated the essence of a fleeting moment. The title itself conjures a sense of serenity, and the viewer is invited to share in the tranquility of the model's repose. 

The connection between artist and model is palpable, as the viewer becomes a silent observer of a private, contemplative moment. The lines that define the figure from the background are blurred and seem to weave between the foreground and background effortlessly as the figure drifts into space and time.
