Unauthorized

Description

Marker on paper, 11 × 14 (framed)
Symbol Compression Series

Unauthorized compresses identity into a singular symbolic structure.

A central mask-like form anchors the composition, flanked by vertical pillars and enclosed by a hovering orbit of contained marks. Subtle interruptions — a red fracture and a blue line — break the surface without fully resolving the tension.

Rather than presenting a narrative, the work functions as a constructed presence. Authority, exposure, and containment are condensed into one unified symbolic object.
