Use And Throw (Ex Libris: U & T)

This stylized red figure, poised in a grounded squat, reads like an icon pulled from a private cosmology—part fertility emblem, part trickster presence—its bold contouring and patterned limbs turning the body into a map of roles, masks, and metamorphoses. The restrained palette of iron red against weathered gray, scored with horizontal striations, evokes a wall of memory where time abrades certainty yet sharpens symbol. A crescent moon hovers as a quiet witness while the die introduces chance as a counterweight to destiny, suggesting a life negotiated between ritual order and the volatile throw of circumstance. The frontal gaze and simplified anatomy compress intimacy and monumentality into a single, unapologetic statement of agency.
