Untitled IV explores the tension between material and silence. Four vertical forms emerge from a deep black surface like traces of memory - eroded, resilient, and suspended between growth and decay. Their tactile texture invites the viewer to move beyond visual perception and experience the work through imagined touch.

The monochromatic palette removes narrative distractions, allowing attention to focus on rhythm, relief, and the expressive qualities of the material itself. Each form appears simultaneously fragile and monumental, evoking associations with ancient monoliths, burnt wood, geological fragments, or silent human presences.

Rather than depicting a recognizable subject, the work creates a contemplative space where absence becomes as meaningful as presence. It invites reflection on transformation, endurance, and the beauty found within imperfection.
