A figure folds inward — head bowed, knees drawn up, one arm extended across the body, the other pulled close. The outer surface reads as pale mineral, teal-green, cool and sealed. Where that surface opens — along the forearms, the shins, the throat — muscle and tendon are exposed in anatomical detail: red-ochre, striated, precise. The geometric ground assembles around the body without containing it: dark rectangles, burnt copper arcs, engraved circles that echo the curve of the skull. The body holds two states simultaneously — exterior shell and interior structure — and refuses to choose between them. Neither reading cancels the other. What remains is a figure that has been opened in order to be verified.
