Field notes for a blue-ground system

What Holds the Island

Begin with the vault

Every composition opens through one deep arch before detail is allowed to speak.

Let blue carry weight

The page stays Aegean blue, while lime surfaces become measured accents.

Keep surfaces hand made

Soft radii, uneven bands, and quiet shadows recall lime over rough masonry.

Leave room for light

Short lines and wide pauses give hard island sunlight a place to land.
