Where do you want to run to? The ghost is in your heart. c. 18th century

Curator: Here we have "Where do you want to run to? The ghost is in your heart.," an engraving by Jean-Louis Delignon. Editor: It’s a charged scene, isn’t it? Visually frantic, full of this frantic energy. I immediately see the figure's desperation. Curator: Delignon really captures a sense of internal turmoil, doesn’t he? Given the time period and the probable printing process, the lines suggest meticulous labor. Editor: Absolutely, you can almost feel the artist’s hand. But I wonder, what is this “ghost” but a material manifestation of something internal? It is so heavy with meaning. Curator: Perhaps that’s precisely the genius of it. The ghost isn’t some ethereal being, but a feeling made real through the artist’s work. Editor: Indeed, it bridges the gap between craft and what we call “high art.” A reminder that art is, at its core, about labor and material transformation. Curator: Exactly. The ghost, the fear, is etched not just onto the paper, but into our collective consciousness. Editor: And into our hearts.
