Untitled 4

This monochrome woodland is built from a patient web of mark-making, where birch trunks rise like quiet sentinels and the canopy dissolves into a trembling lattice of line. The dense crosshatching compresses air and light into a hushed atmosphere, while the dark pool in the foreground acts as both threshold and mirror—an aperture that absorbs the forest’s turbulence and returns it as stillness. In the slight clearing beyond, space opens just enough to suggest passage, turning the scene into a meditation on how nature holds memory: not as grand spectacle, but as accumulated, intimate traces.
