seed 3.4 continues the formal and psychological logic of the seeds series, foregrounding symmetry, compression, and internal tension. painted in black acrylic on unprimed canvas, the shape appears compressed yet directive—pushing outward while folding in on itself. realised freehand, the geometry resists mechanical perfection while maintaining visual control. its bilateral symmetry is offset by subtle irregularities, giving the work a sense of lived precision—exact enough to feel architectural, loose enough to feel human.
the surface reads almost like a signal or schematic, a diagram rendered in tension. pigment saturates the central form while the surrounding canvas remains exposed, allowing the raw ground to act as negative space—a silent participant in the composition.
seed 3.4 functions as both glyph and shield: abstract yet confrontational, protective yet permeable. like others in the series, it belongs to a visual system designed to hold contradiction—where structural order becomes a vessel for emotional force.
