Three Colors, Infinite Form

The ground absorbs all light

Ash-charcoal pigment covers every panel, creating the matte void from which ridged geometry catches raking illumination.

Vermilion marks each ridge

Banana-root resin red traces chevrons and diamonds in 3–8mm relief, every angle catching shadow at a different hour.

White reserves the field

Kaolin clay chalk defines the negative space — where pigment stops and carved air begins on every marriage-hut panel.

Shadow completes the form

Hard-edged darkness beneath each ridge gives every panel its sculptural depth — no gloss, no softness, only relief.
