Unit 016 — One Bead: Silence III

Silence III

Silence is not the absence of presence.
It is the condition in which presence remains.

This work is part of a series of three paintings.

Each piece is complete in itself, yet all three are connected by a single act — one bead introduced into an unchanged field.

The bead remains the same across the series.
Only its position changes.

The image does not develop.
The field does not transform.
Yet the presence remains.

This work completes the first movement of the series.
