This drawing presents a striking reversal of "black bodies - white abyss 9". Here, the black body figure is depicted from the front, creating a direct engagement with the viewer. The figure's sleek hair adds a sense of elegance to their presence, while an intense shadow obscures their eyes, lending an air of mystery and intrigue.

Standing in the pose of a soldier at attention, the figure exudes strength and poise. Despite the feminine attributes, such as breasts and a subtle pear-shaped pelvis, the focus remains on the figure's commanding stance and the powerful energy they emanate.

The shadows cast over the body play an essential role in concealing certain areas, including the figure's most intimate and sacred spot. This intentional choice adds an element of restraint and emphasizes the enigmatic nature of the artwork.

Positioned within the white abyss, the figure demands attention and confronts the viewer directly. This direct gaze establishes a connection and compels the viewer to engage with the figure's presence and the emotions it evokes. The contrast between the black figure and the surrounding white abyss heightens the visual impact, drawing focus to the figure's individuality and significance.

Through this artwork, the artist challenges conventional notions of representation and invites contemplation on themes of identity, power, and vulnerability. The figure's strong yet enigmatic presence invites the viewer to explore the complexities and nuances of the black body, while the white abyss serves as a backdrop that amplifies the figure's importance and demands a deeper understanding.
