Unknown Worlds 1 continues the exploration of space as a system of invisible vibrations. The surface of the work is composed of numerous horizontal lines and small rhythmic signs that overlap, become denser, and shift in chromatic intensity.

Unlike Unknown Worlds 2, where the fields of colour appear softer and may evoke a distant horizon, here the structure is considerably more intense. Red, orange, green, turquoise, and almost black zones form a sequence of energetic layers, intersected by thin, pale horizontal lines. They resemble boundaries, signals, or brief moments of stabilization within a continuous flow.

At the same time, the work retains an ambiguity of scale. What we see could be an unknown cosmic space, a fragment of a spectrum, the horizon of a distant landscape, or a structure of matter magnified to an impossible scale. This uncertainty is essential: macrocosm and microcosm begin to appear as manifestations of the same principle.

Here, the line no longer describes form so much as it registers a state. Repeated hundreds of times, it becomes a frequency — a kind of visual record of a process whose existence we can sense but cannot directly perceive.
