On pristine white paper, a male head confronts the viewer in frontal view, constructed entirely from hundreds of small-to-medium crisp graphite triangles, wedges, trapezoids, and irregular polygons. No smooth contours or traditional modeling exist—form emerges through overlapping geometric shards that interlock and fracture like low-poly mesh, building faceted volume and implied depth solely through density and directional overlap.
Darker, denser clusters of acute angles concentrate at the core—brow, cheeks, nose bridge, eyes—creating near-opaque black voids and shadowed structure, while lighter, sparser marks thin toward the edges, drifting outward as stray triangles and fragments that softly dissolve into blank space. Features remain suggested rather than defined: eyes as darker triangular convergences, nose as vertical wedge alignment, mouth as subtle horizontal break—preserving anonymity and archetypal presence.
The stark monochromatic palette and vast negative space amplify crystalline intensity and quiet tension: the head feels simultaneously constructed and on the verge of disintegration, a geometric apparition hovering between order and chaos.
Notice how the densest shard clusters draw the eye inward to shadowed facial structure, then scatter it along outward-drifting fragments—creating rhythmic pulse between concentrated emergence and gentle fading.
An early work in the Force of Nature series, this unique drawing channels meticulous, obsessive gesture to evoke the human spirit as emergent force: not realistic portrait but primal head reborn through relentless angular repetition—intensely present yet haunted by fragmentation.
How does this prismatic storm of triangles—dense at the center, dissolving at the edges—stir your sense of fractured identity, crystalline intensity, or the poetry of a face assembled from pure geometry and void?
Technical notes.
