Untitled 1 (The City's Rhythm)

This composition gathers a small flotilla of stylized vessels and mask-like figures into a quiet civic ritual, where bodies, boats, and dwellings share the same curved geometry—as if identity and shelter are cut from one cloth. Striated bands of ochre, rust, and soot-grey behave like sedimentary memory, layering time across forms while the crisp white ground opens a hush of distance around them. The central verticals read like masts or a totemic skyline, anchoring the scene between voyage and settlement, motion and belonging. In its measured balance of hard-edged collage and softened, weathered textures, the work becomes an allegory of community: disparate presences held together by shared rhythm, navigating toward a common harbor.
