Chordae Cordis explores the internal architecture of form — where structure is not imposed from the outside, but revealed as something held within.
The central field operates as a contained body, marked by tension, compression, and subtle disturbance. Surface variations suggest pressure points and internal shifts, as if the form is being shaped from within rather than constructed externally.
Radiating elements extend outward from this core, functioning as connective lines — both structural and expressive. These gestures echo the logic of tendons or fibres, linking the central mass to the surrounding space while maintaining a sense of strain and elasticity.
The interplay between violet and gold establishes a dynamic between depth and incision — between softness and articulation. Gold markings do not decorate the surface, but interrupt it, tracing pathways that feel both deliberate and emergent.
The composition resists symmetry while maintaining balance, allowing the form to appear suspended between stability and collapse.
Within the broader practice, Chordae Cordis engages with the idea of internal tension as a generative force — where structure, movement, and expression arise from a shared point of pressure rather than a fixed design.
