Rise of the Soul · Token Detail
Rise of the Soul #442
Rise of the Soul is a visual pilgrimage through Dante’s Divine Comedy, reimagined as a hand‑painted animated world. The collection moves from the depths of Inferno to the cleansing slopes of Purgatorio and the vast luminous harmony of Paradiso. The style is lyrical and cinematic: soft brushstrokes, watercolor textures, floating embers and petals, atmospheric perspective, and a single small pilgrim or group of figures travelling through epic landscapes. Inferno pieces are the rarest — violent crimson caverns, rivers of fire, spirals of stone and storm — while Purgatorio scenes of mist, dawn and climbing stairways are uncommon. Paradiso is the most abundant: wide open heavens, golden clouds, concentric rings of light, and cities that seem to be built from music and air. No graphic horror, only symbolic fire and shadow; no literal theology debates, only the ascent of a soul toward light.

Remanence
Remanence is a study of the human face recorded as light over time.
Each work depicts a recognisably human facial form rendered as a sparse spatial point cloud and subjected to long‑exposure spectral recording. Motion across the exposure produces temporal echoes — red‑shift and blue‑shift afterimages that reveal the face at different moments in time.
These are not portraits. They are residual impressions: what remains of form once time, movement, and wavelength have been allowed to interfere.
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.
