Phanton in the Machine
The series of works The Phantom in the Machine visualizes the complex manifestations of an incommensurable space where invisible social systems of communication and economy become recognized. The phantom is neither living nor dead but exists within and between both forms. The phantom acts as other, operating intrinsically different from its counterpart, the machine. The machine is the physical world, where our bodies exists and function like our environment, building, and spaces we create. The ghost however apprise in the place were our social institutions or culture affects the behavior or attitudes of individual member of that society. The phantom operates as a metaphor for the hyper-object manifested from large sociocultural paradigms, primarily language and economics. These socially constructed institutions are inherently interwoven and consequently difficult to measure, define, and quantify.

The paintings feature layered abstractions of diagrams, maps, blueprints, binary system aesthetics, a variety of line work, grid structures, and repeated organic and geometric shapes. The interconnected lines, shapes and patterning, reflect and encompass the quality of the subject matter I am investigating.
