Snail

At first glance, the image suggests the shape of a snail, with a dark central form surrounded by broad white brush marks that seem to describe movement or a lingering trail. The animal itself is only loosely defined, made from energetic lines that shift between recognisable form and abstraction. The contrast between the dense black drawing and the lighter surrounding marks gives the image a feeling of both weight and fragility. Rather than describing a snail directly, the work invites viewers to pause and consider ideas of movement, vulnerability and persistence.
