Explanation：Santiago
Within every person, there is both masculinity and femininity.
The theme of this work is "masculinity".
Brave, strong, and moving forward.
Making bold decisions, taking actions, and adventuring.
The materials used include
charcoal made from Palo Santo, a sacred tree native to South America,
which adds a sense of mysticism and bravery to the work.
The model for this work is
Santiago, the protagonist of the world-renowned classic, "The Alchemist".
He is a young man who travels the world in pursuit of his dream.
He senses omens, believes in them, and continues to act.
Though he walks through the harsh desert at times,
he knows that everything is connected.
