seed 3.3 explores internal pressure through a compact, bilateral form rendered in black acrylic on canvas. the geometry appears clenched yet deliberate, its symmetry suggesting calm while its jagged perimeter implies agitation. tension is not a byproduct here—it is the structure.
executed freehand, the painting resists mechanical polish while maintaining formal clarity. the black shape sits in high contrast against the unpainted ground, which acts not as background but as active space—amplifying both the weight of the form and the silence around it.
within the seeds series, seed 3.3 operates as a compressed proposition—a diagram of containment, control, and unresolved energy. like others in the series, it draws from emotional compression and architectural discipline, using structure as a vessel for psychological force.
