seed 3.6 is one of the most architecturally restrained works in the series, defined by a symmetrical black form whose geometry feels both fixed and speculative. its silhouette resembles a schematic or crest—compressed, static, and formal—yet hints at internal movement, as if vibrating beneath the surface.
the black acrylic sits heavily on the canvas, absorbing light and commanding space. its hand-painted lines maintain a mechanical clarity without the aid of mechanical tools, producing a tension between human error and structural insistence. the result is not perfection, but a studied compulsion.
in the context of the seeds series, seed 3.6 functions as a stillpoint: a visual pause that sharpens the language of the group. here, containment is compositional, emotional, and spatial—a shape that holds, withholds, and quietly signals through its own constraint.
