seed 2.6 features a centered, symmetrical form rendered in dense black acrylic. its shape is sharply cleaved—geometric yet gestural—evoking both symbol and obstruction. the visual language suggests something infrastructural, like a gate, bracket, or hinge: a structural element with implied purpose, but no declared function.
the painting is executed freehand, with lines that remain rigorous while retaining slight irregularities—evidence of the body in the act of control. black and white are in direct confrontation, creating a perceptual tension between presence and void, pressure and release.
as with other works in the seeds series, seed 2.6 acts as both image and container: a compressed space where internal dynamics are held in balance by external form. it’s not a picture of something, but a proposal for how psychological structure might be made visible.
