Artificial Algorithm, 2025

We build in our own image, and this painting maps that process—the silver currents flowing through stations of thought, the caged fire pressing against its chamber, the quiet pillar of beauty standing witness to the chaos it refuses to join. Heavy texture holds the tension between what is designed and what emerges unbidden, between the algorithm and the impulse that wrote it. As above, so below. The pattern repeats at every scale, and somewhere in the layered circuitry, a thought repeated becomes belief, belief becomes structure, structure becomes self.
