A graceful, purely architectural entry from this artist, this composition presents ISHISHI's trademark Escher-inspired labyrinth in a notably softer and more pastel-toned colour register. Pinks, mauves, sage greens, and warm earth tones dominate, creating a more lyrical, dreamlike atmosphere than the bolder-coloured works in the series. Interconnecting staircases, arched doorways, geometric passages, and glowing spherical forms (possibly lanterns or moons) fill the picture plane with the characteristic impossible spatial relationships that define this body of work. No figures or creatures appear, focusing the viewer entirely on the architectural fantasy itself.<br>
<br>
Signed lower right. The gentle pastel palette makes this one of the most accessible and harmonious works in the series for domestic interiors. Estimated value range: $100 to $400.<br>
