PURE REDUCTION

Structure sets the frame.
Lines, markings, and space define the rhythm.

Repetition creates order,
subtle shifts introduce variation.

In black and white, the image is reduced to line and tone.
Highlights, shadows, and intervals hold the composition.

Figures appear only as elements –
not as subjects, but as part of the structure.

Perception shifts from orientation to abstraction.
What is readable becomes form.

The result is a precise, reduced image with a quiet tempo.
