Position

A dense cluster of dark evergreen trees sits low on a horizontal band across the middle of the composition, rendered in charcoal and graphite against a large expanse of pale, empty ground above. Below the tree line, a horizontal reflection of the trees mirrors the cluster in smudged, softer dark tones, with faint vertical drips or streaks running down through the image. The palette is limited to near-black, grey, and off-white, giving the scene a still, muted mood. "Position," Masahiko Minami, 2016.
