ASYMPTOTE
The Unsustainable
2003 – Present
The impossible, held.
Following the synthesis achieved in Continuum and Reflections, the investigation moves into tension: subjecting unified form to external absolutes. Asymptote confronts time—the dimension through which gravitational consequence must inevitably unfold.
The series isolates configurations that are physically achievable but cannot persist. Ground contact is eliminated or reduced to impossible fulcrums. The body operates in states that gravity will not permit to continue—positions that approach collapse yet remain suspended.
The trajectory is asymptotic: the fall approaches endlessly but never arrives. While gravity acts constantly, its resolution is permanently deferred. What cannot be sustained is nevertheless held—the unsustainable made visible, captured at the threshold of consequence. Equilibrium is achieved. Its persistence is not.
