A structural framework for the production of identity.
Ego System is a long-term artistic framework based on repetition, reduction, and structural variation.
It does not aim to represent individuals, but to generate instances: faces produced through the same underlying matrix.
Identity is treated as a structure, not as a subject.
THE SYSTEM
Ego System operates through a fixed set of rules applied repeatedly over time.
Each output is a variation generated within the same system, not an autonomous artwork.
The system precedes the image.
The image is a consequence.
Ego System can be applied to real people, abstract identities, or future iterations of the framework.
What changes is the input — not the structure.
GEN 0
Gen0 is the foundational application of Ego System.
It uses real subjects as initial inputs to activate the framework and define its formal limits.
These works establish the visual grammar, constraints, and internal logic of the system.
They are not portraits in the traditional sense.
They are the first outputs.
CONTINUITY
Ego System is designed to persist over time.
Future generations may transform, recombine, or extend the system, while remaining bound to its structural rules.
Authorship, technique, and process may shift, but the framework remains intact.
The system does not evolve toward expression.
It reiterates.
