30 × 15 cm
A castle drawn in Tienqa style, where the structure is less about walls and more about interwoven lines. The form suggests protection and permanence, but it is built from fragile, abstract pathways.
The title plays on language, showing how words often get Tienqafied. A simple word like castle transforms into Tienqastel, turning language into pattern and giving shape to a fortress built out of code.
