Curatorial Description (English):
In The Softest Goodbye, ArNoUx etches the delicate sorrow of parting onto a translucent yellow field. A child’s fragile face, sketched with expressive ink lines, emerges like a memory in the fog—fading yet present. The yellow background, both vibrant and nostalgic, creates a tension between innocence and loss. Within this miniature frame, ArNoUx delivers a masterstroke of emotional compression: a farewell too tender to shout, yet too human to forget.
