In this work, Böhmer focuses on the physical properties of her medium, highlighting the feathered, irregular boundaries created when paper is pulled apart. The portrait orientation emphasizes a sense of upward growth and structural integrity, allowing the viewer to trace the jagged path of the tear as it moves through the frame. The interplay between the smooth surface and the exposed fibers offers a grounded exploration of materiality.

By stripping away complex imagery, the artist invites a closer look at the subtle shadows and highlights found within a single edge. The composition relies on the honesty of the material, presenting a visual dialogue between intentional placement and the organic unpredictability of a rip. It is a focused meditation on form that finds beauty in the deliberate imperfection of a handmade mark.
