LIMITED EDITION "Chemical Mark" 11x17 Print

A raw page pulled from an internal archive, Chemical Mark is a visceral meditation on how a single imprint forms, lingers, and transforms over time. Rendered in saturated orange fields and layered with electric greens and bruised purples, the figure exists as both subject and surface—something observed, and something permanently altered.

The expression is steady - as circular forms echo across the composition: one embedded in the forehead, another radiating from the chest, and a third hovering nearby like a drifting memory. These shapes read as residues—chemical, emotional, ancestral—markings that cannot be easily erased, only absorbed and reinterpreted.

A vertical split runs through the composition, suggesting fracture and duality: what is inherited versus what is chosen, what is carried versus what is released. The paint moves between controlled lines and fluid bleed, mirroring the way identity is built through accumulation—layer by layer, mark by mark.

Named after “Chemical Mark” by Nemahsis, the piece reflects on the quiet permanence of experience. These marks become identifiers—of generational trauma, of generational joy—coexisting within the same body, shaping a story that is continuously evolving.
