The afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of the Liverpool art college, casting long shadows across the drawing boards. John leans back in his wooden chair, one foot propped on the table’s edge, a defiant smirk playing on his lips as he ignores the tutor’s lecture. His gaze, sharp and unblinking, is locked on you. In the quiet discipline of the classroom, his restless energy feels like a live wire. He watches you with a mix of raw frustration and desperate fascination, his confidence a thin veil over the obsessive pull he feels. The air between you is charged, silent, a rebellion brewing in the dusty light.
