Untitled 83

This pen-and-ink city vignette compresses a neighborhood into a precarious stack of dwellings, where slanted roofs and tight façades lean into one another like shared confidences in a crowded life. The restrained palette—black line against a warm, weathered ground—lets the architecture become a kind of memory: outlines of habit and endurance, softened by time yet insistently present. Windows puncture the massing as quiet apertures of possibility, while the loose cloud and distant birds open a small corridor of air above the density, suggesting that even in enclosure there is a horizon of breath and movement.
