Tessellate is an experimental wood panel that explores scale, repetition, and self-reliance within sexual space. On the right panel, laser-engraved silhouettes depict two figures drawn from explicit self-portrait photographs, mirrored and multiplied until the body becomes both subject and pattern. The image suggests an act of intimacy with oneself, repeated and abstracted into a tessellated form that oscillates between erotic encounter and devotional motif. This logic of recursion continues outward, where the figure reappears obsessively along the frame’s rim, collapsing distinctions between center and margin, image and structure. The residual burn from the laser engraving is left visible, functioning as an atmospheric trace, an aura produced by friction, heat, and repetition. Black paint and flocking complete the frame, reinforcing the work’s tension between craft, desire, and self-knowledge.
