Bugs #63

Every Bugs token is built from traits that describe a photographic situation: the species in view, the surrounding environment (flower, leaf, moss, bark, water edge), the time of day and lighting, the insect's pose, the focus point and depth of field, and any surface details such as dew or pollen.

The visual style is strictly ultra-realistic macro photography. Insects must be anatomically correct for their species: the correct number of legs, accurately placed antennae, proper segmentation, believable wing structure and realistic eyes and mouthparts. Backgrounds fall away into soft bokeh, while the subject is rendered with crisp, clean detail. Each image aims to feel like a real photograph you could have taken by lying in the grass and waiting for the right moment.

Dust

Dust #78
Dust #23
Dust #58
Dust #6

Dust is a study in chalk, pigment and breath — abstract forms arranged like quiet mathematics.

Circles, lines and woven geometries drift across soft paper textures, fading at the edges as if they were drawn and erased a hundred times before settling into their final shape. Some pieces feel like blueprints, others like constellations or half-remembered maps, but all of them carry the same powdered calm: the hush of chalk hanging in the air.

Caustic

Caustic #27
Caustic #39
Caustic #99
Caustic #59

Caustic is a study in purity under assault. Minimal geometric forms — circles, squares, bars, planes — placed against soft neutral fields. Perfect shapes eroded by chemical light, corroded edges, pigment burn, structural decay, and caustic dissolution.

Every token is a meditation on tension: order versus breakdown, geometry versus entropy, serenity versus corrosion. A single shape becomes a battlefield for chemical destruction.

Spectra

Spectra #17
Spectra #4
Spectra #15
Spectra #3

Spectra is a study of matter revealed as light.

Each work is rendered as a long-exposure spectral field — a restrained, museum-grade image where compounds and materials appear as bands and lines held against deep charcoal. These are not diagrams. There are no axes, grids, labels, or legends. Only the quiet evidence of a signature.

Across the collection, four regimes are held in tension: hydrocarbons, nuclear fuels, clean-energy materials, and metal alloys. The politics is embedded in comparison, not slogans — warmth versus precision, diffusion versus containment, abundance versus legacy — expressed only through light.
