A soot-dark field cradles a stitched, irregular “hide” of copper-brown imagery, where an oversized eye, spiraling currents, and a birdlike profile coalesce into a private cosmology of watching and being watched. The limited palette—burnt umber against night—lets texture and incision become the true illumination, as if memory were etched rather than painted, surfacing in fragments and symbols. Geometric wedges and organic coils push against one another, suggesting the uneasy truce between instinct and structure, while the visible sutures at the perimeter read like a wound deliberately mended—an artifact held together by will, not certainty.
