Hilma af Klint and the Theosophy-adjacent abstraction of her generation treated the spiral as more than ornament - a way of proposing that the visible world contracts, layer by layer, toward an interior that is both centre and void. Saoirse Mehta's nested, roughly triangular circuits in pale lavender work the same logic: each contour tightens around a looped, unresolved terminus, implying that arrival is permanently, deliberately, out of reach.
