The Geometry of Betrayal
Artwork Philosophy
The Geometry of Betrayal
Betrayal is rarely chaotic.
It follows invisible lines long before anyone notices them.
Trust creates the first point.
Hope draws the second.
Silence completes the third.
Only afterward do we discover that every decision, every omission, every promise formed a geometry that had been waiting to collapse.
The nails are not merely objects.
They are fixed choices.
Once driven into place, they define relationships that cannot easily be undone.
The red wax resembles both a seal and a wound.
It asks a simple question:
What binds us together—love, loyalty... or the illusion that neither will ever change?
