This canvas marks the first vertical variation in the Genomic Works system. There’s no portrait, no Tarot—just a column of chromatic and symbolic bands, each one a fragment of encoded experience. The shift in orientation alters the logic: inheritance becomes vertical, recursive, almost architectural. It reads less like a sequence and more like a descent—traits layered atop one another, compressing time into texture.
The absence of a face or fate gives the work a kind of anonymity, but not emptiness.
Lord Alfred Douglas feels like a whisper in the archive—a record of emotional residue, cultural memory, and the quiet mutations that shape identity when no one’s looking.
