Some portraits exist before the conversation begins.
These are works in a state of suspension — outlines without skin, presence without color. They wait.
A reaction starts the exchange. Color follows.
The rules
Limbo XXY portrait is made before any contact.
It exists in suspension — line only, no skin, no color.
When the subject reacts, the portrait enters the archive as a full XXY portrait.
Skin appears. Color is assigned.
No reaction. The portrait remains Limbo.
Limbo is also the archive.
