How long can you look before the void unmakes vision?
What form does structure take when all else is forbidden?
The Paradox of Whiteness: When Emptiness Swallows Structure.
Here I ask what happens when the cosmos refuses to form any shape—rendering the absence of everything not as darkness, but as an overwhelming expanse of clinical, blinding white. I wanted to show the moment when even the hope of structure is dissolved, and vision itself is devoured by the raw light of nothingness. The viewer is left searching for anchors, forced to confront the vertigo and nausea that come from witnessing a void so absolute it forbids pattern and depth, making absence itself violently present.
