Comb 4

Suspended in a field of hushed, wintery white, the painting stages three weathered, comb-like forms at the margins, as if fragments of memory are drifting in from the edges of consciousness. Their bruised blues and earthen browns carry a tactile sense of abrasion—scraped, stained, and softened—while thin vertical drips read like meltwater or time itself, pulling the eye downward with quiet gravity. The vast negative space becomes the true subject: an atmosphere of pause and distance that turns these remnants into symbols of erosion, endurance, and the slow surrender of structure to impermanence.
