City of Faces (2021, New York) is organized like a rectangular control panel: stacked compartments, ladder-like rungs, and rigid frames that hold the portrait in place while everything inside keeps shifting. Eyes repeat across the structure like built-in sensors, appearing in corners and cutouts, watching from multiple angles at once. Thick, architectural lines lock the figure into a grid, but the interior stays crowded with zigzags, triangles, and looping arcs that refuse to settle.
The ladders read like routes of thought, climbing from one frame to the next, while the repeated “structural” eyes suggest many voices sharing the same head. It feels like overlap and interruption made visible, as if conversations, memories, and impulses are all speaking at once inside a single blueprint of a face.
