Untitled 12 (Untitled 26)

This intricate line drawing stages a hybrid creature—part elephant, part avian reverie—where the trunk becomes a conduit of breath and song, and the surrounding feathered spirals unfurl like thoughts escaping the confines of the body. The composition radiates outward from a dense central knot of contour lines, creating a pulsing sense of motion that oscillates between ornament and anatomy, as if the figure is simultaneously forming and dissolving. With its monochrome economy, the work leans on rhythm, repetition, and filigreed detail to suggest an inner cosmology: protection and vulnerability braided together, the animal rendered as a living talisman of memory, instinct, and metamorphosis.
