Untitled 5 (Boundless Energy)

This drawing summons the horse not as a fixed anatomical study but as a burst of will, carved from a storm of looping graphite that turns empty paper into charged atmosphere. The pale body reads like a fleeting illumination, while the dense, tangled mane and surrounding arcs operate as a second, shadow-like presence—motion itself—pressing, pursuing, and dissolving the figure into speed. Compositional diagonals and circular sweeps pull the eye forward and back in a continuous surge, suggesting the animal as both subject and symbol: a psyche in flight, straining against the boundaries of depiction. In its restless layering, the work meditates on freedom’s cost—how momentum can be both liberation and entrapment in one breath.
