Drawing: The Foundation of Observation

“Every landscape begins as a hand-drawn study. I sketch places where nature and human structure quietly intersect—pipes beside roots, water beside concrete, growth pushing through old forms. The drawing sets the composition and the mood; it’s the first sense of the terrain before anything else enters the process. This stage comes directly from observation and imagination. It’s the foundation—the moment where the landscape first takes shape, before it begins to evolve.”
