A composition of circular arcs in straw marquetry — blue curves, cut from indigo-dyed straw, intersect to create a wavy motion that breaks away from standard geometric rigidity.

The deep blue dialogues with the natural fibers in a play of light and shadow, giving the piece a calm presence — akin to a flat gouache wash, but with the warmth of a living material.
