As one of Dogangolu's most emblematic paintings from the series “As Adam, Early In The Morning”, “Sleep” is a study of physical and psychological surrender to the temporal and material experience of having and being a body. Gently resting on a pillow, the figure’s head and face intermittently disappear out of visibility into areas of shade and darkness, echoing a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. As in most of the paintings from the series, this figure is immersed in the inward movement and introspective nature of sleep, while the viewer is caught in a moment of voyeurism, between a desire to see more and a withdrawal of the figure that refuses any complete exposure or transparency.
