Figures Within the Grid

A vertically composed mixed-media collage places a narrow turquoise landscape inside a thick rounded black frame, set against a large, ghostlike grayscale form built from charcoal-like marks, washes, and dense intersecting grids. Tiny human and animal silhouettes gather near the lower edge of the inset scene, creating a striking contrast between its watery color and the surrounding monochrome structure. The work feels contemplative and enigmatic, balancing intimate scale with an imposing abstract presence.
