Thorn Trap
B*TCH CHAOS · Work II of VI
$175.00
Work
Recursive fixation. Pressure without exit. Thorn Trap visualizes being caged in thought. Distorted lines and looping forms compress and circulate, creating a sense of entrapment. Circles act as structural anchors, containing movement while simultaneously amplifying tension.
Where Work I examined inward collapse, this piece examines cyclical mental fixation. The loops and distortions represent thoughts that fold and rebound, creating persistent internal pressure. There is no resolution. The structure itself embodies the sensation of being trapped within recurring patterns.
Series Context
B*TCH CHAOS is a six-work sequence exploring psychological pressure as architecture. Each work isolates a distinct structure: constriction, visibility, fragmentation, recursion, collapse, residue. All pieces follow a consistent visual methodology.
Individual works stand independently. Collectors acquiring multiple pieces experience the full structural logic of the series. Work II extends the series’ architectural language into recursion, deepening the conceptual trajectory established in Work I.
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.
