Breathing Pattern: White Lines on a Blue Background

"Dementia" is a series of five plates, executed with white marker and pencil on matte blue paper. The rough texture softens the contrast, making the white color subdued. The gaze glides easily, without tension. A1: Splashes of rage like sparks — short rays scattering from the center. A2: Dizziness like a flower — diverging arc-petals, slightly trembling and shifted. A3: Fatigue like liquid primer — flowing smudges and streaks, almost without sharp borders. A viscous silence in which a strange calm is felt. A4: Confrontation of immunity and virus — dense strokes of a shield and a ragged cloud of smeared lines. They flow into each other without a scream. A5: Acceptance like a pattern of circles — the calmest, breathing rhythm of an exhale.
