The next two pieces sit in the same space as the others, but the structure behaves differently. Instead of a uniform field of crossings, the long parallel lines and short jagged segments separate into distinct roles. The result feels less like a statistical texture and more like a system with intent — the geometry choosing when to run straight and when to break. It’s still rule‑based, but the rules express themselves with a different kind of clarity.

These patterns have always looked self-contained, but they were never meant to be final. They’ve been a way of thinking in straight lines — small studies inside narrow rules — and over time they’ve become a library I can return to. Some of these structures may show up again later, not as the focus, but as quiet texture or as the underlying geometry that shapes a composition without being seen. This piece is a small glimpse of a possible future.
