Holding the Center – Original Encaustic Monotype on Handmade Asian Paper

Description
Holding the Center is an original encaustic monotype created on handmade Asian paper. Layered contours and repeated linework form a central shape that suggests presence and containment without fixed definition.

Within the composition, a small heart-like form appears as a quiet internal element, integrated into the structure rather than isolated as a symbol. It functions as a point of focus and balance, anchoring the surrounding movement and layered lines.

Created through pressure, transfer, and the natural movement of molten wax, the surface reveals subtle shifts in tone and texture. The work remains intentionally open, inviting interpretation through feeling, presence, and material rather than narrative.
