This 7"x10" ink drawing on archival paper features a densely layered mass of overlapping loops and swirls. The thick concentration of lines builds a deep black shape, central to the composition, that gives the impression of both depth and movement. The lines are tightly wound at the center and gradually loosen toward the outer edges, where they appear more erratic and open, allowing some white space to peek through.

The shape suggests an organic, swirling motion, as if it were a tangled mass of energy, tension, or chaotic motion attempting to escape its own boundaries. The negative space surrounding the dark form creates a strong contrast, drawing the viewer's focus inward, toward the intensity of the central mark-making. The drawing's simplicity in form is balanced by the complexity of the overlapping lines, which seem to pulse with subtle vibrancy.
