Untitled 16 (The Ever-Growing Tree)

This monochrome drawing distills the idea of a tree into a choreography of spirals, where each curl reads like a leaf, a thought, or a quietly repeated memory accumulating into canopy-density. The disciplined vertical trunk—rendered in measured, parallel bands—anchors the composition with calm certainty, while the crown’s restless linework generates a humming, almost wind-like motion that refuses stillness. In the stark white negative space, the form becomes emblematic rather than botanical: a meditation on growth as repetition, and on vitality built from innumerable small gestures. The absence of color intensifies the piece’s contemplative clarity, letting rhythm, texture, and persistence carry the emotional weight.
