A striking close-up photograph of parted lips emerging from darkness, captured at an angle that suggests tension or distress. The lips appear glossy and illuminated with a reddish-pink hue, creating a stark contrast against the deep black background. Small droplets or beads of moisture are visible on the skin, catching the light and adding texture. The composition is dramatically cropped, showing only this singular feature floating in the void-like space. The positioning and expression of the mouth suggests a cry or gasp, perhaps representing the emotional weight implied by the title's reference to avoidance. The image's high contrast and intimate perspective creates an unsettling yet captivating effect.
