| This canvas breaks the genomic template in quiet but meaningful ways. There’s no Tarot draw, and the portrait band doesn’t feature a singular ancestor—it presents a halftone crowd. The substitution reframes the question of inheritance: not who you come from, but what collective you emerge from. The crowd becomes a kind of genetic chorus—anonymous, textured, and unresolved.
Surrounding this are vertical bands of botanical illustration, camouflage, gradients, and schematic fragments. The visual rhythm feels like a pulse—organic, encoded, and slightly unstable.
Edweard Muybridge doesn’t isolate identity; it disperses it. The work suggests that what we inherit isn’t always personal—it’s ambient, cultural, and shared.
