This piece is a study of texture more than anything else. Poppy seeds look simple from far away, but up close they become these tiny sculptural forms, clusters, patterns, and shadows that repeat in unexpected ways.

It’s the kind of subject that forces you to slow down and notice small things: how light falls on uneven surfaces or how a cluster curves in space. Quiet, minimal, and strangely meditative to draw.
