This abstract composition explores the tension between presence and absence through layered mark-making and an airy, open composition. Soft, gestural strokes of muted teal, ochre, and titanium white drift across a natural canvas surface, interacting with raw negative space and faint pencil outlines that suggest memory, maps, or forgotten language. Scratchy graphite and charcoal lines loop and intersect, like attempts at connection or thought made visible. A bold patch of deep blue anchors the upper left, evoking the weight of emotion or perhaps the sky before a storm. There’s a dance here between control and spontaneity—between what’s built and what’s erased. The piece carries a sense of quiet energy—simultaneously unfinished and complete, as if documenting a fleeting moment in an ongoing internal dialogue.
