Landscape (Tropical Landscape)

This composition stages a dreamlike ecology of signs—botanical fronds, mollusk-like forms, and a wavering border—held together by emphatic black contours that feel both protective and constraining. Against the muted violet field, the patterned interiors pulse with hand-built rhythm, as if the artist were mapping sensation rather than species, letting ornament stand in for memory and touch. The central pink, tooth-edged silhouette rises like a soft monument, suggesting growth and vulnerability at once, while the surrounding figures hover as companions in a private, symbolic terrain.
