This image shows a faint outline of a person sitting, barely visible against a plain white background. The figure is made of thin, horizontal lines of cut paper, giving it a ghostly, almost erased look. The shape is simple—just a head, shoulders, and legs—with no details like facial features or clothing. The artist used paper instead of paint, cutting and layering strips to create the form. This isn’t a sketch or a painting—it’s a sculpture made from flat pieces of paper. The effect feels quiet and minimal, like the figure is fading away. Look up Mathias Schmied to see more of his work with paper and light.
