| Third in the Genomic Works sequence,
Genghis Khan introduces one of the earliest structural ruptures in the series. The portrait band—featuring an image of an unknown
figure in pastels—bleeds into the Tarot band to its left, breaking the usual containment. A partial botanical silhouette is inserted mid-band, splitting the Tarot card entirely. The result is a visual and conceptual fracture: inheritance interrupted, fate overwritten.
This canvas doesn’t follow the genomic logic—it challenges it. The shimmering vertical bands remain, rich with chromatic rhythm and symbolic texture, but the system is no longer stable.
Genghis Khan becomes a meditation on disruption: how identity mutates not just through selection, but through interference. It’s a portrait of legacy as rupture, not continuity.
