seed 4.4 marks a shift in scale and spatial orientation within the seeds series. composed in a stark black form against a white ground, the painting presents a flattened silhouette—jagged, symmetrical, and suspended—suggesting both containment and rupture. the structure feels deliberate yet volatile, its edges simultaneously enclosing and slicing into the surrounding field.
realised without taping or mechanical aid, the geometry maintains a tension between exactitude and improvisation. the exposed canvas amplifies this dynamic, transforming absence into presence and surface into atmosphere. the form reads as a glyph or schematic—something at once intimate and remote, encrypted but legible.
within the visual logic of the series, seed 4.4 behaves as a boundary object: something that mediates between inner disorder and outward clarity. it holds contradiction without resolving it—operating as a site where compulsion meets control, and silence becomes a form of signal.
