The source. Before color, before digital treatment: a hand-drawn mandala in pure black and white that took exactly as long as it looks like it took. Ten-pointed star at center, feather forms radiating outward, crescent and eye forms filling every corner. This is the root of the Spiral Studies series. Every color variant begins here. The composition radiates from a single central point through alternating petal types: some filled with dot sequences, some with open lattice hatching: creating a visual vibration without any optical trickery. Just the natural consequence of careful, repeated mark-making at scale.
