The composition coils around a circular void near the top—an echo of the enso form—suggesting both a head-like presence and a symbolic center from which energy radiates. Around this space, assertive, angular strokes form ear-like points and bristling contours, giving the impression of alertness and latent power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"500\" data-end=\"975\"\u003eParkum’s brushwork alternates between dense, saturated ink and dry, frayed sweeps that appear to dissolve into the paper. These shifts create the illusion of striped musculature and kinetic movement without directly describing fur or form. The body is implied through interlocking curves and diagonals that spiral downward, conveying coiled strength and readiness to spring. Rather than outlining a tiger, she evokes its essence—muscle tension, watchfulness, and feral grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1248\"\u003eThe expressive line carries emotional weight. Some strokes snap sharply, like claws or teeth; others glide in elongated arcs, suggesting sinew and motion. Occasional warm undertones peeking through diluted ink lend a visceral quality, hinting at life beneath the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1461\"\u003eNegative space plays an active role, allowing the eye to complete the figure. The tiger seems to materialize from emptiness and return to it, reinforcing a sense of presence that is both immediate and ephemeral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1744\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1475\"\u003eSumi Tiger\u003c\/em\u003e stands as an embodiment of instinct and vitality.
