Encounter (La Terre)

This geometric abstraction assembles a terrain of interlocking triangles in earthen reds, olives, and umbers, where matte planes are repeatedly interrupted by thin, chalklike striations that read as memory lines across a fabricated landscape. A dominant black diagonal cuts through the mosaic like a shadowed corridor, tightening the composition’s rhythm and suggesting a passage between stability and fracture. The layered border—dark, then warm, then light—acts as a pictorial threshold, holding the image in a state of contained turbulence, as if an internal architecture is being mapped rather than a literal place. In its balance of order and abrasion, the work evokes a quiet archaeology of structure: pattern as shelter, and pattern as scar.
