A prickly pear cactus displays its geometric spines in sharp focus against a warm terra cotta wall, its green flesh studded with pale needles that create rhythmic patterns across the frame. Sunlight catches the spines with clarity, emphasizing the plant's sculptural form while the soft, muted background suggests a Mediterranean summer day. 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.
