The artwork "Sombre" represents a profound exploration of the emotional state of an individual from the China - Taiwan - Hong Kong region. Through the linocut print in deep blue ink, the artist conveys an atmosphere of melancholy and sadness that not only reflects the personal emotions of the depicted person but also the political tensions in the region.

The character, with his downcast gaze, symbolically represents the vulnerability of the local population in the face of turbulent political changes. The deep blue ink can be interpreted as a metaphor for censorship and restrictions that are starting to weigh on freedom of expression and cultural identity in these communities.

The title "Sombre" suggests both the somber tone of the artwork and the pessimistic atmosphere hanging over the region. In this political context, the artwork becomes a testament to the emotional state of the people in these areas and their struggle to maintain their identity and freedom in the face of the complex challenges they are confronted with.
