| Arrangement is the smallest work in the Secret Codes series, but its scale belies its conceptual density. A grid of alphanumeric characters—resembling hexadecimal or binary code—spreads across the canvas in bold black font. These aren’t decorative fragments; they are embedded codes, part of a recursive system that
echoes throughout the series.
Overlaying this digital structure are hand-drawn flowers, rendered in soft purple tones. Their placement and form are not arbitrary—they replicate the exact floral arrangement held by the robot in the
Query triptych. What was once a bouquet becomes a cipher. A visual echo. A symbolic bridge between inquiry and encryption.
The title, Arrangement, speaks to both floral composition and cryptographic architecture. It references the structured placement of numbers and symbols as the core of ciphers, while also nodding to the emotional and mnemonic logic of repetition. The background shifts in speckled gradients of purple, green, and pink, adding texture to the tension between organic beauty and mechanical logic.
This is not a puzzle to be solved—it’s a field of quiet recursion. A ciphered bouquet. A visual whisper that will bloom again in later works.
