Palaash 2 (Ephemeral Beauty) Archival Ink Nature Drawing

Suspended in a field of white silence, the form reads like a hybrid of petal and flesh—its inked contours trembling between delicacy and abrasion as if the subject is being remembered rather than fully seen. Blush pinks and muted grays breathe through the translucent washes, turning light into a kind of emotional weather that gathers at the folds and releases into airy absence. The composition ascends in a vertical surge, suggesting growth and vulnerability at once, while the frayed linework implies a body or bloom caught mid-transformation—beauty not as perfection, but as persistence. What lingers is a quiet tension between tenderness and rupture, a meditation on how fragility can also be a structural force.
