Rear Window 4 Printmaking Figurative Printmaking

This triptych stages a quiet metamorphosis in which a solitary figure moves through desert vastness into a cultivated interior, and finally into a near-mythic alignment with the cactus itself—nature no longer surrounding her, but speaking through her. Flat fields of powder-blue and sand-white collide with dense grids of potted succulents, creating a tension between the untamed and the domesticated, while the floral dress repeats like a personal climate she carries across every scene. The measured, illustrative line and restrained palette lend the work a calm, devotional stillness, as if the act of tending plants becomes a form of self-construction and protection. In the final panel, scale tips toward the monumental: the cactus becomes both sentinel and mirror, suggesting endurance, restraint, and a feminine presence that has learned to root without surrendering its mystery.
