| This smaller canvas marks a quiet mutation in the Genomic Works system. Unlike the main sequence,
Mariko Mori omits both the portrait and Tarot bands—removing the figure and the draw, and leaving behind a field of pure pattern, texture, and chromatic logic. What remains is the genomic architecture itself: vertical bands that shimmer with coded complexity, each one a fragment of inherited experience.
The absence of a face or fate doesn’t diminish the work—it amplifies it.
Mariko Mori becomes a meditation on what lies beneath representation: the invisible scaffolding of identity, the systems that persist even when the symbols fall away. It’s a quieter piece, but no less precise. A reminder that inheritance isn’t always visible—and that sometimes, the most resonant traits are the ones that go unnamed.
