Two entities can be immediately identified on each watercolor: soft, voluminous vertical columns from top to bottom and hard, thin lines that cover part of the sheet like a spider’s web. Both entities couldn’t be more different. However, they each have special visual qualities, peculiarities and strengths with which they influence each other.

The columns and networks of lines seem to compete with each other for greater visibility and dominance, struggling to occupy the best possible positions in the image. It remains questionable what the viewer’s eyes actually perceive first.
