Inspired by: Lanterns in a Temple surrounded by incense

As I gently trace the journey from humble lines and plains shapes, a tableau unfolds — lanterns bathing an ancient temple in hushed glow, enveloped by tendrils of incense whispering age-old tales. Herein rests a profound dialogue between tradition's permanence and artistry’s flux - immutable yet expressed anew through graphite's dance across parchment. Touches of lost newsprint echo times past while infusing vintage vitality into this spiritual portrait.
