Faceless Self-Portrait integrates a perforated thermoplastic mesh · clinical 2.4 mm gauge · reoriented as structural armature, not as testimony. The mesh bands remain visible beneath the resin, bonded to the linen and painted in cobalt and ultramarine to integrate them into the surface without erasing them.
The scar remains visible as a formal decision. This is not trauma on display · it is survival encoded into the material. The face is absent: the mesh describes the facial contour with greater precision than any image.
This is the keystone piece of Living Systems · the one that sustains the logic of the entire series.

Faceless Self-Portrait integra una malla termoplástica perforada · gauge clínico de 2.4 mm · reorientada como armadura estructural, no como testimonio. Las bandas de la malla quedan visibles bajo la resina, adheridas al lino y pintadas en cobalto y azul ultramar para integrarlas a la superficie sin borrarlas.
La cicatriz queda visible como decisión formal. La cara está ausente: la malla describe el contorno facial con mayor precisión que cualquier imagen.
Esta es la pieza keystone de Living Systems · la que sostiene la lógica de toda la serie.
