Black swallows nearly every gap between the yellow loops, blue dashes, and red crosshatching, pressing the face forward with nowhere to retreat. The two eyes read differently—one sealed with crossing lines, one open and watching—lending an off-balance quality the symmetrical yellow rings cannot resolve. The grid-toothed mouth, red lips parted enough to expose a dark interior, sits somewhere between grin and grimace. Surrounding marks in blue, pink, and yellow feel less like decoration than noise crowding in.
