This monochrome totem reads like an invented cosmology: a shield-like body split into dusk and daylight, each half seeded with meticulous teardrop marks that feel at once like rain, eyes, and counted prayers. The symmetry is ceremonial yet unsettled—an arrow crowns the figure while smaller, tool-like forms hover below, suggesting a ritual apparatus for measuring fate, protection, or passage. Through restrained grayscale washes and crisp graphic patterning, the work holds tension between softness and incision, as if memory is being archived in symbols that refuse a single translation.
