This 7"x10" ink drawing on archival paper presents a densely packed form composed of tightly woven, overlapping lines. The black mass dominates the center of the paper, with the lines thickening toward the middle to create a deep, nearly impenetrable texture. The outer edges of the form reveal more open loops and curves, suggesting a release of tension as the lines disperse outward. The density of the drawing creates an almost tactile quality, where the sheer buildup of ink feels heavy and substantial, as if it could be felt beyond the surface of the paper.

The overall form is irregular, with a slightly more rounded shape on the left side, while the right side feels more stretched and elongated. The chaotic, circular motion of the lines gives the drawing a sense of energy and movement, as if the shape is alive, vibrating within the confines of the paper. This contrast between the dense center and the looser edges adds a dynamic quality to the composition, inviting the viewer to explore both the tension and the release within the piece.
