Wooden Viscosity 5 (Verdant Labyrinth)

This circular abstraction reads like a cut section of living matter—an orbiting field where ochres, rusts, and mossy greens knot into a dense, breathing topology. The eye is pulled inward by a pale, tangled nucleus, then pushed back out along hairline filaments and scratch-like tracings that behave like nerves, roots, or weathered cartography, making space feel simultaneously microscopic and cosmic. Light appears less as illumination than as residue—white flecks and lifted lines that mark acts of abrasion and recovery, suggesting memory inscribed through pressure and time. The disciplined round boundary contains the turbulence, turning chaos into a mandala of persistence, where growth and erosion become indistinguishable.
