Quantum Gray I

1995

The image shows a square shape composed of fine, wavy lines creating a textured appearance. The lines resemble the patterns of tightly curled hair or wood grain. The repetitive and undulating lines give depth and complexity to the square, which is placed on a larger rectangular, lightly textured background.

Quantum Gray II

1995

The image shows a central rectangular shape filled with undulating horizontal lines in varying wave-like patterns. These lines resemble ripples on water or the grain of wood, creating an organic motion. The composition suggests an abstract interpretation of natural forms, reminiscent of meandering lines in landscapes or textiles.
