A pyrographic portrait after an iconic motif from science. Formulas, wood grain and burnt line join mind, material and memory. The surface of the support is not concealed but becomes a resonating space for the depiction, giving the image its handcrafted presence. The gaze and posture of the figure condense into a quiet counterpart that creates closeness and distance at once.
