Patinated Turquoise Gate

Watercolour on 100% cotton paper · 15 × 15 cm

This turquoise gate, framed by brick and a dark lintel, introduces a more tactile materiality into the series.

The surface shows variations of pigment, suggesting time and weathering without becoming anecdotal.

Frontal composition remains strict. The threshold appears massive, almost monolithic.

Within the 15x15 cm format, the research centres on texture and chromatic density. Turquoise interacts with the warmth of masonry tones.

Here, vernacular architecture meets formal minimalism. The gate becomes a vertical plane carrying memory, yet rendered with restraint.

A solid and silent threshold.
