Window Within the Grid

A vertical mixed-media collage places a narrow, softly colored pastoral scene inside a heavy rounded black frame, set against a large gray-and-black form built from crosshatched marks and worn, painterly textures. Tiny figures and an animal occupy the distant inset landscape, creating a striking contrast between intimate scale and the imposing abstract structure surrounding it. The restrained composition feels contemplative and slightly enigmatic, with the central panel functioning like a fragile window or memory held within a dense visual field.
