This painting presents a textured, square composition that evokes the tactile quality of coarse fabric or jute. Layers of ochre, sienna, and muted blue-grey tones are built through delicate crosshatched brushstrokes, creating the illusion of woven threads. The frayed, soft edges suggest wear or passage of time, giving the piece an organic, handcrafted feeling.
The work balances geometry and imperfection — its grid-like structure symbolizes order and human intention, while the uneven edges and subtle tonal shifts bring warmth and vulnerability. It feels meditative, like a quiet study of texture and rhythm, inviting the viewer to slow down and appreciate materiality, patience, and stillness.
