The Descent

2018–2026

Scroll down to go back. The deeper you go, the older the work. This is not explanation. This is excavation.

Ten phases. Seven years. One continuous investigation into what happens when geometry meets ink, control meets chaos, and the studio becomes archaeological site.

[PHASE IN PROGRESS]

The Convergence Test

Bangkok. One year. Stable studio. Seven years of graduated thresholds arrive at proof point. Not settling down—testing whether the arc consolidates.

Ongoing · Week 5 active · Ink on Xuan paper · 14+ works in progress

Representative work from The Reactivation

The Reactivation

Hanoi to Bangkok. Walking engine restarts after four-month void. Not the destination but the threshold crossing that made the destination visible.

2025 · 8 weeks · Transitional · Infrastructure rebuilt

Seven years. One crucible. Everything converges or fails.

No surviving works. The void moved into the heart.

Some phases are measured not by what was made,
but by what was endured.

2024-2025 · 4 months · 0 works

Something survives. Practice resumes.

2021-2024 · PH4
Representative work from The Invisible Flood

The Invisible Flood

Nomadism as method. Myanmar to Vietnam to Bangkok. 195 paintings made for no audience. Freedom's cost: isolation, turbulence, existential daze.

195+ works · 3 years · Ink, acrylic, mixed media · No fixed studio

Flight becomes void. The market collapses.

2022-2023 · PH3A
Representative work from The System Made Explicit

The System Made Explicit

Codification of the celestial system. Gold-ink polarity documented, systematized, made transmissible. The framework crystallizes—and in crystallizing, approaches its limit.

2022-2023 · 25+ works · Systematic documentation · Bangkok

The system complete. The cage opens.

2021-2022 · PH3
Representative work from The Hinge

The Hinge

Gold and ink in equilibrium. Celestial codification reaches peak expression. Beneath the systematic calm, severe doubt. The last phase where geometry holds primacy.

2021-2022 · 40+ works · Gold leaf, sumi ink · Bangkok

The system made explicit. Codification begins.

2020-2021 · PH2A
Representative work from The Cost of Living According to What You Know

The Cost of Living According to What You Know

Thelemic rupture. The Equinox suite: four odes and a climax. One-shot ink—ultimate finality. Invocation replaces representation. Irreversible.

2020-2021 · 5 major works · One-shot ink · Narrative suite structure

After rupture, reorganization. Gold and ink as equals.

2019-2020 · PH2
Representative work from Operating Inside Unknowing

Operating Inside Unknowing

The centered phase. Torus geometry as cosmological anchor. Sacred pattern not as decoration but as method. Calm, meditative, grounded—the last sustained equilibrium before rupture.

2019-2020 · 60+ works · Ink and graphite on paper · 56 × 76 cm consistent

Invocation replaces representation. Irreversible.

2018-2019 · PH1A
Representative work from Sacred Geometry Meets Institutional Demand

Sacred Geometry Meets Institutional Demand

The first test: can personal geometric practice survive commercial application? Gold introduced as institutional accent. Client work, commission pressure, the question of whether the method bends or breaks.

2018-2019 · 30+ works · Ink, graphite, gold leaf · Commercial and personal

From institution to invocation.

2017-2018 · PH1
Representative work from First Geometry

First Geometry

The origin point. Geometric abstraction as primary vocabulary emerges. Hand precision under no-undo constraints. Everything that follows begins here—not as style, but as method.

2017-2018 · 40+ works · Ink and graphite on paper · Variable scales

Personal vocabulary meets institutional demand.

The constraint begins. Every mark final.
