Dont Use Me (Encoded Narratives: Unraveling the Urban Script)

The work reads like an archival wall of an imagined civilization—part blueprint, part palimpsest—where padlock forms and modular blocks become emblems of access, containment, and memory. Fields of pale ground and mustard haze hold a restless scatter of micro-drawings, stenciled glyphs, and diagrammatic fragments, allowing the eye to oscillate between monumental geometry and intimate, hand-written insistence. Warm oranges and oxidized reds suggest circuitry and weathered machinery, yet the soft negative space keeps the composition breathing, as if these coded messages hover between invention and erasure. In its layered syntax of signs, the piece proposes that identity is not stated but assembled—locked, unlocked, and rewritten through the languages we inherit and the systems we build.
