The elusive pole
Predicted cleanly, observed nowhere, sketched everywhere.
A monopole is the impossible seed of electromagnetism: one magnetic charge standing alone, a north without a south. Here it is treated as a living specimen pinned into a notebook spread, surrounded by warm clay field lines and small botanical echoes.
The page keeps the confidence of a technical diagram while letting every stroke wobble like ink dragged across fibrous paper. Precision and doubt occupy the same sheet.
