Stillness
drawn on water

Four moves

01Tray

The water thickens

Gum tragacanth is boiled, strained and rested for days. This dense water — the ebru tray — carries the colour and is prepared with patience.

02Colour

Pigment, tamed with gall

Earth pigments are ground and tempered with ox gall. The gall is the secret that lets the colour spread on the water without sinking.

03Pattern

Breath held, pattern opened

Colour is scattered from the brush; drawn across the water with stylus and comb. From battal to floral, the pattern is born in these few seconds.

04Transfer

Paper meets the water

The paper is laid onto the water in one motion and lifted. The pattern is now in the paper — no going back, no copy.
