Lithica #346

Icon

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.

Spectra

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.

Caustic

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.
