The white background acts as a space for thought, a mental field where children's drawings, scientific notes, and expressive strokes come together. This painting invites reflection on how humans name, measure, and control nature in order to understand it, but in doing so, fragment and transform it. The work is constructed as a visual cartography; the horse ceases to be an animal and becomes a system of classifications, directions, data, and fragmentary annotations.
