Studies in Organization is an ongoing series of composite image works that examine how images construct coherence and authority within established visual cultures. Drawing from mass-produced photographic material, including bodies, landscapes and archival imagery, the works reorganize historically familiar forms into configurations that retain legibility while refusing full consolidation. Organization is approached not as neutral arrangement, but as a mechanism through which interpretation and hierarchy are stabilized.
The works maintain a stable rectangular format that recalls the printed page and the conventions of reproductive media. By framing these originally disposable materials behind glass, the project recontextualizes them within the space of exhibition, foregrounding the institutional mechanisms that confer value, permanence and authorship.
By reconfiguring culturally familiar imagery within the very structures that traditionally stabilize it, the series exposes how representation secures continuity and authority. The composite does not collapse the image into fragmentation, nor does it produce synthetic unity. Instead, it sustains structural incompletion, exposing how representation rehearses continuity (historical, cultural and perceptual) through the suppression of discontinuity.
By operating from within the inherited structures of visual culture rather than positioning itself outside them, Studies in Organization pressures those structures internally. The series demonstrates how images organize experience and secure authority, while insisting that such organization remains provisional.
