Figures Within the Grid

A vertically composed mixed-media collage places a narrow, softly rendered landscape inside a thick rounded black frame, where tiny human and animal figures gather beneath a hazy green-blue sky. Behind it, a large pale silhouette is built from charcoal-like smudges, dense crosshatched marks, and irregular tonal fields, creating a striking contrast between intimate pastoral space and an imposing abstract presence. The work feels contemplative and enigmatic, with the inset scene functioning like a memory or window held within a larger graphic structure.
