Impact

100 Tokens

Impact is a generative art collection of high-speed material studies. Each piece freezes the precise instant where force overwhelms stability — where rubber, water and gelatin admit pressure.

The instant matter admits force

Impact is a study of the fraction of a second where form changes its mind.

A membrane stretches and thins until it fails. A water surface opens into a cavity. A gelatinous volume buckles and folds. These are not scenes of aftermath — they are single instants, held still long enough to be examined.

Studio calm

Impact is rendered with restraint: neutral backgrounds, controlled lighting, and high-speed clarity. The aim is not drama but observation — the sculptural geometry that appears when pressure interrupts stability.

Maximum deformation, not spectacle

Impact avoids narrative and avoids violence framing. There is no blur, no trajectory, no cinematic camera. The subject is the material itself at peak deformation: tension, compression, displacement and rupture at their maximum.

A catalogue of limits

Taken together, Impact becomes a calm catalogue of material limits — a set of experiments repeated with variation, revealing how different surfaces and substances respond to sudden force.

Spectra

Spectra #9
Spectra #8
Spectra #13
Spectra #14

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.

Icon

Icon #11
Icon #7
Icon #9
Icon #19

Icon is a body of work about symbols — how colour and form can carry meaning without words.

Each piece feels like a sign encountered rather than explained: bold shapes held in balance, strong colours standing with confidence, moments that register instantly and remain quietly present.

Across the collection, love appears sparingly, like a signal sent with intention — changing the feeling of the image without overwhelming it.

Trace

Trace #40
Trace #63
Trace #10
Trace #27

Trace is a study of perception — a hybrid visual language where photographic fragments become architectural diagrams, and linework reveals the hidden structure inside the world.

Each artwork begins with real photographs: textures, objects, architectural details, or natural fragments. These images are arranged as intentional collages — quiet, asymmetric, evocative. Over them, precise linework unfolds: topographic contours, orthographic projections, and geometric extrapolations that reinterpret the photograph’s form.

Trace sits between blueprint and sketchbook, between fine-art print and architectural analysis. It is a dialogue between what is seen and what is understood.
