A single botanical stem with layered black leaves rises against a soft cream ground, its silhouette rendered in bold, graphic strokes. The composition balances organic form with geometric simplicity, creating a meditative study in negative space and restrained line work. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
