69 presents two male figures locked in reciprocal intimacy, rendered through intersecting sheets of white oak veneer. Each body is cut from a separate plane: the left figure’s vertical grain meets the right figure’s horizontal grain, their collision producing a visual hinge where bodies and materials merge. Laser burning overlays these intersections, creating tonal depth that reads as both shadow and touch. The background repeats the combined silhouette of the figures as a patterned field, collapsing scale and transforming the couple into an ornamental motif.

The sexual position 69 functions here as a structure of equality and simultaneity. Giving and receiving occur at once, without hierarchy, echoing a devotional logic rather than a pornographic one. Explicit exposure is not meant to shock, but to assert vulnerability as sacred. The work frames queer intimacy as a form of communion, where mutual pleasure becomes a shared rite and a temporary unmaking of the self into something collective.
