An invitation to journey - an exploration of landscapes both familiar and fantastical, guided by the unbroken flow of a pure white line against a vast black canvas. Each element - a castle perched on a winding path, a lone tree, a wave curling into the unknown - represents a place of potential, an anchor in this visual narrative of discovery.

Echoing the linear motifs of early maps and mythic storytelling, the line creates a visual rhythm as it threads through various symbolic forms. As it moves, the line subtly shifts in direction, reflecting our innate desire to wander, to seek and to find meaning in the simplest forms. Lose yourself between the tangible and the abstract.
