Let the wall carry the story
Every note begins on smoke-dark sandstone, with pigment read as part of the shelter face.
Reading the wall before the figure
Marks Survive Softly
Shade before outline
Red-brown edges soften into ochre, so the figure feels brushed rather than cut.
Fragments remain truthful
Missing heads, legs, and clay-white traces stay visible instead of being repaired into certainty.
One ochre palette speaks
Hematite, manganese, and fugitive clay accents keep the system quiet, warm, and exact.
