Abduction 1 situates alienation as a private, embodied experience rather than a spectacle. The work reflects the moment when internal perception diverges from shared reality—when orientation fails and the familiar no longer offers reassurance. Abduction functions here as a metaphor for psychological displacement, evoking a state of sublime dread in which awe and instability coexist. The image resists narrative resolution, instead holding the viewer within uncertainty, where meaning remains provisional and the subject appears suspended between recognition and estrangement.
