About the work

The ornament-saturated surface reads as a single, continuous system — an almost decorative field without inner tension. Yet fractures, bends and cut-in forms disturb this illusion of wholeness, turning the ornament into a vulnerable structure.

Violet sets a mood of calm and a return to childhood, while the red flowers act as impulses — points of life surfacing on the plane. The cuts do not destroy the composition but open it, making the hidden movement of form visible.

The work captures the moment at which order begins to break down into a more complex, tense and living system.
