Rendered over a cyanotype of classical engraving, Return reinterprets the parable of the prodigal son with new emotional immediacy. The color intervention isolates the central figures — the son and the father — from their ornate, distant surroundings, drawing our attention to the raw vulnerability of repentance and the unyielding tenderness of forgiveness.
Papayon’s brushwork evokes a timeless ache: the return home, not just of body, but of soul.
