This painting portrays a man who appears calm, confident, and at peace; almost drifting into sleep. Yet beneath this stillness lies a question: is he truly serene, or subdued by the weight of work and the expectations placed upon him? The image hovers between wisdom and constraint, between composure and quiet resignation.

It also invites reflection on a deeper question: how can we reinforce our human side at work? be more genuine, more aligned with our true self, to perform better and live more fully? Such alignment would benefit both the individual and the organization. Yet in today’s world, this balance between authenticity and professional conformity feels increasingly difficult to achieve.
