The Swearing In

The Swearing In
They gather close, a ghostly throng,
Their bodies shaped in lines gone wrong.
A silent vow in ink and trace—
Power’s pact etched on a fractured face.

Emerging from an original mono handprint, The Swearing In evolves into a digital abstract expressionist work, blending graffiti-inspired linear forms with layered textures beneath. The white-on-black sketch figures appear both primitive and symbolic, suggesting anonymity and ritual. This hybrid technique bridges analogue mark-making with digital composition, forming a collective scene suspended between chaos and ceremony.
