The Eschatonic Tryptich

The E(schatonic) Tryp(tich)

· Philadelphia · America · Laodicea ·

The Eschatonic Triptych is an ArtsWa funded series of three large-format, fabric-bound artist books that combine collage, acrylic painting, and poetry with apocalyptic imagery from the Bible and other memetic references.

The project explores human self-destruction, environmental collapse, institutional violence, spiritual disconnection, and the undoing of the material world as a symbol of an undoing of the spiritual world.

The volumes—Philadelphia, America, Laodicea— named after the conceptual cities in the book of Revelation, these books are built as oversized children’s books with tactile engagement and immersive viewing in mind. Together, they interlock into a pyramid, emphasizing conceptual unity.

Philadelphia explores spiritual longing and alienation from ourselves; America peels back the veil, exposing systemic spiritual degradation as a contradiction of being humanity is trapped within; Laodicea culminates in rupture, a severed ouroboros forming the omega (Ω), a symbol of finality, representing the end of worldly cycles and a call to deep spiritual knowing and existence.
