Black Leaves in Gold sets a warm metallic field inside a sequence of dark frames. Within the centered square, a lattice of matte‑black leaves arcs and overlaps, reading at once as botanical motif and abstract script. The border builds from velvety gray to deep, glossed black, so light moves slowly across the surface. Svetlana uses restraint to heighten attention: repetition becomes rhythm; negative space becomes breath. The work stages a meeting of order and growth the measured geometry of the frame containing, but not confining, organic movement.
