Imperfect Mirror
B*TCH CHAOS · Work V of VI

Work
Reflection as pressure. Recognition initiates reconfiguration. IMPERFECT MIRROR marks a structural pivot within the series. Reflection no longer functions solely as force; it becomes a site of negotiation. The image holds misalignment, fracture, and repetition without attempting to correct them. Imperfection is no longer concealed, yet it is not aestheticized.
A residual mask remains. The impulse toward ideal form persists, partially embedded within the composition. But the work stages its gradual dissolution. Recognition operates here as acceptance under tension, not resolution. The need for coherence loosens, allowing form to reorganize without erasure.
This is not reconciliation. It is the beginning of structural tolerance.
Series Context
B*TCH CHAOS is a six-work sequence examining internal pressure as architectural form. Each work isolates a distinct psychological structure: constriction, recursion, visibility, performance, recognition, residue. All pieces adhere to a unified visual methodology.
Individual works stand independently. Collectors acquiring multiple pieces experience the full structural logic of the system. This first complete series positions serialized thinking and conceptual rigor at the core of the practice.
Printed on Japanese museum-grade matte paper using archival water-based inkjet processes. The non-reflective surface preserves tonal fidelity and material integrity.
Each print is produced individually. The artist’s digital signature is embedded within the image file.
Open edition. The format reflects the artist’s commitment to circulation and engagement during the formative phase of the practice. Early acquisition positions collectors within a foundational body of work as it enters wider visibility.
Shipping included worldwide. Applicable taxes calculated at checkout.
This work is suited to collectors building positions in contemporary practices where psychological structure operates as formal subject; serialized image-making systems in which method supersedes individual gesture; and rigorously conceptual approaches to figurative abstraction.
It is not decorative. It does not resolve. It sustains pressure as both subject and method.
