Friendship with the Unknown No. 31

It's hard to believe Ahavani created this texture of somewhere between rock, metal, and liquid with just canvas and paint - but believe it! As the title implies, each of the Friendship with the Unknown series is like discovering a new element for the periodic table. Because their soft, simple color, the slightest modulation in texture and the effect of light and shadow will give you ever-changing impressions.

When you challenge Ahavani's unidentified objects, they will challenge right back. Under the guise of rock or metal, they are actually made of canvas - carefully shaped right to the moment between growing from within and being hit, twisted, or eroded from outside. So let your eyes follow the incredibly complex curvature like an ant just discovering another dimension. It testifies to the poetic nature of interacting with materials after relinquishing the need to identify what, why, and where from.
