Undertone is a study in visual duality—an assemblage that contrasts vivid, textured circles and mechanical gears with a haunting skeletal etching below. The upper composition explodes with overlapping discs of dyed wood, industrial washers, and vintage clock gears, resembling a diagram of kinetic thought or unraveling machinery. In the lower half, an anatomical skeleton etched into a worn substrate is partially obscured by hanging brass rods, keys, and fittings—an afterimage of the structure beneath the noise. The two sections are visually and thematically tethered: motion and stillness, surface and root, presence and echo.
