Comb 2

A solitary vertical core of cracked, earthen pigment rises like a scar or fossilized column, its surface mottled with umber and soot as though time has baked memory into matter. On either side, regimented comb-like striations flare outward, a measured rhythm that both frames and abrades the central form—order pressing against something stubbornly organic. The generous white field functions as silence, amplifying the tension between construction and decay, and suggesting an architectural relic caught mid-transformation: part ruin, part rebirth.
