Prototype of the Secret of the Sixth Finger
| Reality check sketch

2025, Acrylic markers on A3 paper

About the Artwork

This prototype was one of the first sketches made in preparation for The Secret of the Sixth Finger project at the Estonian Academy of Arts. It experiments with a mixture of dots and larger circular shapes, blending pointillism with expanded forms. The work reveals the early stages of exploring how dream logic distorts familiar imagery such as the human hand. Like the final canvas, this sketch carries a strong energy of experimentation, showing the search for balance between chaos and order, vision and execution.
