| Early in the Genomic Works sequence,
Albert Einstein introduces a structural anomaly: the Tarot card spans three vertical bands—3, 7, and 10—rather than occupying a single space. Bands 3 and 7 are fractured, visually broken, suggesting instability or mutation. The card itself becomes a kind of rupture, not a symbol of fate but a disruption in the genomic rhythm.
The portrait band remains intact, anchoring the canvas with a sense of continuity. But the surrounding structure pulses with tension: mechanical diagrams, winged figures, botanical textures, and chromatic gradients collide across the vertical field. The visual logic feels precise but unstable, like a system aware of its own fragility.
Albert Einstein marks the moment the genome begins to bend. The canvas is a quiet fracture in the sequence, a signal that the rules were never fixed, and that mutation was always part of the design.
