Highs and Lows present an exploration of balance through contrasting values. The composition is divided into two distinct areas: a steady vertical strip punctuated by black metal lines that impose rhythm and structure, and an adjacent triangular section where irregular stripes and layers create subtle visual shifts. The restrained palette of beige and off-white allows the interplay of light and shadow to come forward, highlighting the tactile nature of the torn paper and the gentle extension of threads beyond the edges.
