Caulis emerges from an immersion into the peripheral axis — the structure that embodies necessary friction and the mesh of adaptation. The work explores a psychic energy rooted in the collective unconscious, mediating the tension between chaos and order. This energy rises as the systemic support of being, enabling potential to surface and forming the pattern of consciousness through which the psyche becomes legible and sustainable.
Inspired by primordial narratives of the collective unconscious, the piece reflects on the need for communion and the cost of friction, revealing how structure serves as the essential catalyst for coherence. Caulis becomes a conceptual architecture of the mind — the foundation through which the self adapts, emerges, and aligns with the collective. It stands as a manifesto of this vector, inviting reflection on the structural forces that shape becoming.
Description
Structure. Ascending pulse. A mesh of adaptation shaped by tension — the axis linking the psyche to its wider fabric. It is the force that sustains friction and establishes coherence, where the peripheral vector sparks potential. This pattern of consciousness allows the individual to be seen, integrated, and capable of shaping destiny. Like a stem connecting concealed roots to an open flower, Caulis evokes the bridge between the hidden and the manifest.
The work explores the articulating power of the peripheral axis, tracing identity through tension and the search for coherence. The artist integrates collective memory as a dynamic component: a quantum processing system receives this information to set the parameters of the peripheral vector (qubit QZ / blue channel), revealing the degree of systemic coherence and the adaptive force configuring the structure of being. Through this method, the artwork becomes a reflection of the vector and its capacity to mediate the whole.
The concept materializes as a data sculpture — an organism mapping the collective unconscious. The emergence of potential forms an interwoven texture where systemic coherence requires a symbolic anchor. Here, peripheral flora — jasmines and roses in white, cream, and yellow — represent purity, connection, viability, and systemic grace. This floral core transforms quantum friction into an interconnected morphology where each form becomes a constellation in active manifestation.
The peripheral axis reveals itself as the sustaining force of form, mediating the whole so that the self may achieve viability. Caulis bears witness to how this vector reorganizes the psyche, guiding it toward communion and the possibility of a fuller, future potential. The work becomes a territory of introspection, returning us to the moment where tension gives rise to structure — where adaptation begins, and identity takes shape.
