METAPHYSICAL CLASH

METAPHYSICAL CLASH (2021)
Series of 5 prints (edition format adaptable / size variable)

Metaphysical Clash is a sequence of five mirrored digital relics that stage a confrontation between belief systems, technological mediation, and the instability of perception. Each image resembles a ceremonial object or altar fragment—simultaneously sacred artifact, machine component, and hallucinated architecture—suspended in a field of chromatic displacement.

Developed in 2021, the series emerges from a moment of global uncertainty and accelerated digital immersion. The works reflect a tension between material presence and virtual distortion: objects appear monumental yet unstable, symmetrical yet fractured, devotional yet synthetic. The recurring vertical structures evoke crosses, pedestals, masks, or instruments of ritual, but resist fixed interpretation. They operate instead as transitional forms—thresholds between the physical and the symbolic.

Chromatic aberration and mirrored duplication function here not as visual effects but as metaphysical strategies. They destabilize the authority of the image and suggest parallel realities occupying the same surface. Each print behaves like a speculative relic from an unknown system of worship—one in which technology replaces mythology while still reproducing its structures.

Presented as a set of five, the works form a sequence rather than a hierarchy. Together they propose a fragmented altar: five viewpoints of the same unresolved structure, or five incompatible translations of a single invisible object.

The possibility of varying scale reinforces their conceptual openness. Whether intimate or architectural, the images retain their role as sites of encounter—between viewer and artifact, signal and noise, certainty and projection.
