Graphics 27. Duality. Openness and Conservatism (2025)
“Graphics 27: Openness — Conservatism” extends the artist’s investigation of psychological duality within a mathematically disciplined structure. The grid, derived from the geometric progression of 2, becomes a conceptual field where internal tensions find visual expression.The work positions Openness and Conservatism not as opposing binaries but as parallel, functional life strategies. Openness embodies receptivity, curiosity, and the willingness to engage with uncertainty. Conservatism embodies continuity, preservation, and the protective instinct to maintain the known.
The bodily language reveals this duality: one figure reaches outward, symbolizing expansion; the other curls inward, forming a cocoon-like posture that conveys containment and self-protection. The visual contrast underscores how these tendencies coexist within individuals and societies, each providing resilience in different circumstances.
Through geometric clarity and restrained gesture, the work reframes duality as coexistence rather than contradiction.
