**Mind Mechanics No. 24 explores the mind as a system of interconnected yet permeable structures rather than a unified whole. Distinct colour fields suggest separate cognitive territories that remain in constant exchange, where thoughts, memories and emotions migrate across unstable internal boundaries.**

**Constructed with acrylic ground, oil stick and oil pastel, the work balances geometric organisation with spontaneous gesture. Structured forms establish a sense of order while expressive marks interrupt and redirect their logic, revealing the instability beneath apparent coherence.**

**Instead of illustrating a specific psychological state, the painting proposes that consciousness is shaped by the continuous movement of information between mental compartments. Identity emerges not from fixed structures but from their interaction, where separation and connection exist simultaneously and every internal boundary remains open to transformation.**

Mind Mechanics No. 24

**_Mind Mechanics No. 27 is part of the ongoing_** _Mind Mechanics_ **_series, examining the internal structures through which thought, memory, and perception are formed. Rather than depicting a psychological state, the work presents a visual framework where ordered and instinctive gestures coexist._**

**The composition is constructed from a reduced vocabulary of recurring forms: a white contour defining an open profile, a dense black field, gestural oil-stick marks, and a contrasting red form. These elements function not as fixed symbols but as structural components, creating tension between containment and release, permanence and change.**

**Built with acrylic ground, oil stick, and oil pastel, the layered surface preserves traces of revision and accumulation. By allowing construction and erasure to coexist, the painting invites viewers to project their own psychological associations, reflecting the continuous formation and reorganization of internal experience.**

Mind Mechanics No. 27

**_Mind Mechanics No. 22 is part of the ongoing_** _Mind Mechanics_ **_series, which investigates the internal architectures through which thought, memory, and perception are organized. The painting is composed of interlocking geometric structures that resemble compartments within an evolving cognitive framework, where each element contributes to a larger system without assuming a fixed symbolic meaning._**

**_The layered application of oil stick and oil pastel over an acrylic ground creates a dialogue between precision and spontaneity. Repetitive grids, linear rhythms, and contrasting color fields establish a sense of order while preserving traces of revision and intuitive decision-making. Rather than describing a specific psychological state, the work examines how experience is compartmentalized, connected, and continuously reconfigured._** _Mind Mechanics No. 22_ **_reflects the series’ ongoing exploration of the mind as a dynamic structure—one that is never static, but constantly shaped through accumulation, adaptation, and transformation._**
