Figurative Structures

The Dialectic of Form

1999 – Present

This practice examines the body as a site where opposing forces seek resolution. The human form is not a fixed anatomical fact, but a structural variable—operating under physical law yet is also responsive to will. 

The investigation follows a dialectical progression. Reflections establishes the subject by uniting complementary opposites—defining the whole through its dual nature. Triangles and Horizontals then deconstruct this unity, isolating the geometric principles that structure the form. Continuum synthesizes these elements, eliminating separation to reveal the figure as an indivisible whole.

Once established, the form is tested against constraint. Asymptote confronts temporal limits—poses that cannot persist yet remain held. Limits addresses anatomical boundaries, demonstrating how volition expands apparent capacity. Here, the limit functions not as a barrier, but as a threshold—proof of the form’s adaptive potential.

Conditionals concludes the inquiry by proposing what lies beyond biological constraint. Through algorithmic recombination, the work generates theoretical morphologies—the figure reimagined according to systematic rather than evolutionary logic.

The work maintains rigorous formal discipline—controlled lighting, reductive composition, and strategic abstraction. This approach deliberately counters the nude’s conventional associations: while the unclothed figure typically invites narrative projection—psychological, erotic, or personal—the systematic elimination of facial identity, contextual cues, and expressive gesture redirects perception toward structural investigation. The body becomes perceivable not as individual flesh but as architecture—universal form where mass, tension, and spatial relationships achieve resolution. The work invites formal engagement rather than surface reading.

Ultimately, this rigor serves an aesthetic purpose: to isolate compositionally complete forms where beauty emerges as visible evidence of structural resolution.

Together, these series document a complete investigative arc: from the definition of self in Reflections, through geometric deconstruction in Triangles and Horizontals, to unified synthesis in Continuum, through conflict with constraint in Asymptote and Limits, concluding with theoretical projection in Conditionals.
Yet Reflections establishes more than a starting point—it reveals the principle underlying all subsequent investigation. The self, understood as integration of complementary opposites, is the essential condition for equilibrium itself. Every configuration that achieves balance does so by embodying this fundamental duality: the capacity to hold opposing forces in sustained relation. The body emerges not as static biological container but as dynamic structural variable—capable of transformation, responsive to will, subject to algorithmic reimagining.
