Grid Zero
Grid Zero — Ink on paper, 29.7 × 42 cm, 2026
From above, the landscape reveals itself as fragmented islands of mineral material connected by eroded channels. This aerial perspective shows the true topology of collapse: what appeared solid from ground level is revealed as already dispersed when viewed from distance.
Diagonal lines suggest flow — the movement of water, wind, and matter across the eroding landscape. Some areas show organized linearity; others dissolve into scattered fragments.
Grid Zero: solid ground was never solid at all, only appearing so from below.
The aerial perspective of Grid Zero reveals the true topology of collapse — what appeared solid is already dispersed. The view from above shows what the ground-level view could never reveal.
Grid Zero is part of Cartography of Collapse, a series of 16 original ink drawings on paper (2026) tracing geological transformation from formation through dissolution. Created in a single session without revision — the irreversible line mirroring the irreversibility of geological processes.
Each drawing is improvised, capturing moments in matter’s transformation across deep time. The series moves in two acts: Igneous (formation, density, compression) and Erosion (dissolution, dispersal, return to void).
Certificate of Authenticity included with acquisition.
