Cocoa Fan — Beni Mrirt Axial Rib Relief

A contemporary Beni Mrirt in a deep cocoa brown, sculpted in high/low relief. From a central axis, ribbed “fan” branches sweep outward in measured arcs, creating a tactile topography that catches light. The profile is clean with bound edges—modern, plush, and quietly architectural.

Glyph Reading

The axial rib registers encode passage and protection—branching lines that guide movement from the center outward. The open ground holds calm; the cadence of the ribs reads like “encoded time.” Energetically, the layout grounds a space while directing soft, expansive flow.
