seed 3.5 presents a taut, symmetrical structure rendered in deep black acrylic. its contours form a dense, shield-like figure—anchored and opaque—suggesting protection, resistance, or enclosure. the geometry feels deliberate yet psychologically charged, as if shaped under pressure.
painted directly onto canvas without taping or mechanical tools, the form reveals its precision through restraint. each edge holds tension, not through perfection but through consistency—line and proportion disciplined into presence. the exposed margins frame the black mass like silence around speech.
within the seeds series, seed 3.5 reads as both glyph and container: a static object holding dynamic force. it proposes a language of inwardness—where control becomes a method of survival, and form serves as architecture for affect.
