Fingers Crossing Open Ground

Created 14 August 2026 at 23:46

Three beige limb-like strokes lean toward each other without quite touching, and the charge of the drawing lives entirely in those near-misses - close to what the Japanese concept of ma describes as active, load-bearing emptiness rather than mere gap. A darker form at upper left presses in exactly where two strokes almost meet, making the space between them the hardest-working part of the page.
