About this work

This drawing looks like a diamond shape made of tight, wavy lines. The lines are bright colors—reds, greens, blues, yellows—packed so close they almost blur. At the bottom, there’s a smaller strip of the same lines, but less crowded. The way the lines repeat makes the shape feel alive, like a swarm of light. It’s all done by hand, but looks almost mechanical. If you like this, check out cross-hatching next.
