Wound (The Cosmic Egg)

This stark monochrome engraving stages an interior cosmos: a vigilant eye nested within a second, larger gaze, as if perception itself were being measured, framed, and ritualized. The composition relies on hard-edged geometry—triangles and arcs that intersect like sacred diagrams—while dense stippling and incised lines create a pulse of light that seems to flicker from within the darkness. Small organic emblems at the margins (foliage, flame-like growths) press against the constructed order, suggesting the tension between instinct and control, nature and the mind’s architecture. What emerges is a quiet, unsettling meditation on surveillance and self-awareness, where the act of seeing becomes both sanctuary and confinement.
