Work Done Is Zero 4 (The Ethereal City)

This graphite construction reads like a city remembered through circuitry—planes of architecture interlocked with latticed grids, where the measured geometry is continually unsettled by nervous hatch-marks and ruptured seams. A single pale orb anchors the lower field, casting a muted halo that feels less like illumination than a quiet warning, as if an inner core is pushing against the engineered skin of the scene. The eye moves along slanted corridors and fractured walls, sensing both control and collapse: an environment designed to contain, yet haunted by organic tremors that insist on presence. In its monochrome restraint, the work becomes a meditation on modern space as both shelter and surveillance, a place where order is built from— and inevitably frayed by—human intensity.
