Rooms Fulfilled

An ink on paper drawing that compresses an architectural idea into a single circular ‘window,’ using layered gray washes to suggest slatted light or a textured surface within a field of white.
A spare white sheet is pierced near the top by a perfect circle filled with soft-edged, diagonal gray bands that read like shadows on blinds or ripples on corrugated metal, producing a quiet, rhythmic, almost hypnotic effect.
By reducing imagery to one suggestive aperture, the work links minimalist restraint to architectural thinking, showing how simple drawing techniques can evoke depth, light, and the sense of an occupied room.
