The piece presents a square plane, eighty by eighty centimeters, hand-carved from solid ash. The grain of the ash remains an active element, subtle ridges and shallow channels catch light and shadow, guiding the eye across the surface. Carving varies between broad, flattened hollows and crisp, narrow incisions, creating a rhythm of texture that both calms and intrigues.

The finish is mother-of-pearl paint, applied in thin, translucent layers to preserve and enhance the wood’s natural pattern. The luminous coating emphasizes the sculpture’s tactile quality while introducing an ethereal, reflective presence.

Edges are precise but softened, suggesting careful restraint rather than sharp geometry. The overall effect balances organic warmth, the ash’s color and grain with a refined, luminous sheen. The work occupies an intimate scale, suitable for wall mounting, inviting close viewing to appreciate the interplay of carved texture and pearlescent finish.
