《德克兰（身穿Simone Rocha，与Eddie）》延续了鲍尔以“凝视”为核心的肖像语言。画中人物身着英国设计师Simone Rocha的服饰，怀抱一只名为Eddie的豚鼠。画面采用极简的背景与柔和的粉调，将现实中的身份表征抽离成一种近乎宗教性的静默姿态。鲍尔以冷静克制的笔法描绘面部与布料的微光，使人物既显得脆弱又庄严，游离于性别与时代的界限之间。作品展现了艺术家对“自我如何被看见”的持久追问，也折射出当代社会中性别身份的流动与再定义。

Declan (In Simone Rocha with Eddie) (2023) exemplifies Ball’s nuanced engagement with visibility and identity. The sitter, dressed in a Simone Rocha garment and holding a guinea pig, appears suspended in a pale, timeless space. With soft tonal transitions and meticulous attention to surface, Ball transforms the portrait into a meditation on ambiguity—between masculinity and femininity, intimacy and distance. The result is both tender and uncanny, echoing the artist’s commitment to portraying the quiet complexity of human presence.
