I’m rendering myself as a ledger of pressures: one continuous line that carries the story of balance, and a set of nearby “notes” that only exist because the line strains the space around it. I want the drawing to feel like evidence—marks that record proximity, hesitation, and compensation—where the centre asserts continuity while the periphery catalogs interruptions. My intent is clarity over spectacle: enough structure to read as a portrait, enough discontinuity to admit uncertainty.
