Untitled 9 (Textured Totem)

A solitary vertical column of ochre bands seems to surface from a field of ashen grey, like an unearthed stratum of memory interrupting a wall of silence. The repeated horizontal breaks create a measured rhythm—part ladder, part scar—where light appears to catch on eroded edges, suggesting both ascent and abrasion. Granular textures and scattered flecks soften the geometry, turning structure into sediment and inviting a contemplation of time’s slow insistence: what endures is not the monument, but the trace.
