If this broad frame evokes anything, let it be old depictions of Nut - the Egyptian goddess of the heavens and cosmos. The charcoal frame is further enhanced by a double arch; and all three layers brim with funiculus, much like the fleshy bundles inside a passion fruit. What it circumscribes is a modest square arrangement of even smaller boxes, like the immensity of the cosmos contains the most minuscule of things.
This piece is a cauldron of varying ideas and favourite things. Ultimately composing a simple design that feels aesthetically expressive and charming to style with.
