This composition has been on my mind for many years, with initial sketches dating to 2013.The narrative relates to a memory from an afternoon when I was fifteen, and a classmate showed me her watercolor of a tiger.

The composition explores the structure of two stacked triangles - one above the other. Two vertically stacked triangles organize the visual field. The upper frames the faces; the lower anchors the tiger.

  • Ink and color pencil over a photo
