Created on a 1987 map, this work explores star forms as carriers of guidance, presence, and connection. Through repetition, variation, and an attention to negative space, the composition develops a rhythmic balance between structure and openness. Drawing from celestial imagery, the work considers how orientation can emerge through both form and the spaces surrounding it.
