Shearbody is not built by stillness—it’s shaped by motion.
This sigil stands in the tension between forces that do not merge or collapse, but coexist by moving past one another.

The form holds a truth:
You can remain intact while pressure passes through you.
You can carry memory without absorbing pain.
You can be reshaped—without being broken.

Like the nebula it rests within, Shearbody doesn’t center around explosion or gravity.
It centers around persistence. Flow.
A structure made by what moves through it, not what controls it.

This is not a symbol of protection.
It’s a declaration of survival through motion.

Shearbody

This is what happens when signals collide.

Galaxies spiral, waves fracture, and color breaks open under cosmic strain.
What you’re seeing isn’t chaos — it’s the geometry of disruption.
Where timelines overlap. Where emotion meets field. Where memory and light glitch and reform.

Like gravitational waves from unseen events,
this piece vibrates with cosmic interference —
not as distortion, but as evidence that something passed through.

A record of presence. A map of pressure.
A visual artifact of invisible forces at work in us, through us, and around us.

Interference Pattern

First Light After Collapse marks a return to motion after a period of compression and stagnation. Created as an acrylic pour on paper—a surface rarely used for this process—the work records a moment when flow re-emerged after constraint.

The movement across the surface resembles a supernova phase: dense fields giving way to expansion, layered currents pulling apart and reorganizing. Pigment behaves less like decoration and more like matter under pressure—stretching, folding, and dispersing as if responding to gravitational release.

This piece was not planned or corrected. It arrived coherently, intact, and alive—signaling a shift from containment to expansion. Working on paper intensified the risk: the absorbent surface does not forgive hesitation or excess. The resulting marks hold immediacy and vulnerability, preserving the exact moment when motion resumed.

Rather than representing rebirth symbolically, the work enacts it.
It is the record of a system regaining its trajectory—
the

Nerthis” holds a charged quiet — dense currents and gathered fields that feel both planetary and visceral. The framed piece reads like a memory of pressure: surfaces mapped by tension, pathways that pulse like nerves. It’s for someone who notices the body before the sentence, who lives with pre-language sensation and wants art that acknowledges that edge. Hung in a study, studio, or dim living room during long evenings, the work anchors rooms with an unflinching presence. It doesn’t resolve; it records. The matte finish and clean frame let the layered textures and muted bursts of color breathe, inviting slow looking and repeated discoveries each time you pass by.
