Fading Lines
Fading Lines — Ink on paper, 42 × 29.7 cm, 2026
An elegant topographic arc dominates the upper portion — still readable, still graceful despite its isolation. Below, a single fragment floats in vast white emptiness, the arc’s lines thinning as it disperses into void.
The topography does not disappear abruptly but dissolves gradually into white void, the isolated fragment suggesting dissolution continues, matter scattering endlessly.
Fading Lines is the culmination of the series — the final moment where form returns to emptiness, completing a cycle. Matter remembering its own dissolution: a gentle letting go that contains both loss and the return of new possibilities.
Fading Lines closes the series — the final moment where form returns to emptiness. Lines thin and fade gradually, matter scattering endlessly, completing a cycle. A gentle letting go containing both loss and the return of new possibilities.
Fading Lines is part of Cartography of Collapse, a series of 16 original ink drawings on paper (2026) tracing geological transformation from formation through dissolution. Created in a single session without revision — the irreversible line mirroring the irreversibility of geological processes.
Each drawing is improvised, capturing moments in matter’s transformation across deep time. The series moves in two acts: Igneous (formation, density, compression) and Erosion (dissolution, dispersal, return to void).
Certificate of Authenticity included with acquisition.
