Rear Window 5 Printmaking Figurative Printmaking

Rendered in stark black and white, the work uses incisive, carved-like line to turn a domestic greenhouse into a ritual space, where every leaf and spine becomes a notation of endurance. The woman’s profile—quietly monumental—anchors the composition as her outstretched hands offer a potted cactus like an intimate votive, suggesting care as both labor and inheritance. Repeating grids of planters and patterned vessels create a disciplined architecture of growth, while the dense botanical surround presses forward, collapsing background into presence and making resilience feel tactile. In this restrained palette, light is not illumination but revelation: it surfaces through incision, insisting that tenderness can be forged from hardness.
