TABS is a triptych that examines perception, symbolism, and scale through a structured visual matrix. Composed of three segments — Macro, Meso, and Micro — each series consists of eight A3 pages, forming a total of 24 modular panels. Across these panels, 4,224 squares function as tiles within a larger mosaic. Fragments of shape, pattern, symbol, and iconography are woven into a system that is at once ordered and modular.

The square mediates between two distinctive logics of imagery. In TABS, it references pixels — functioning as an ordered structure for digital code and media. By contrast, LSD tabs function as a metaphor for neural imagery — free form, lateral and vast. This dialogue between structure and expansion underpins the work.

The series encapsulates a deliberate shift in symbolism. Macro begins ornamentally maximalist - dense and visually heavy, Meso moves toward moderation, a simplification of form. Micro dissolves further into muted tones and distilled shapes, a reduction that marks a transformation in perception itself, a dissolve of symbolic representation.

By naming the segments Macro, Meso, and Micro, the work associates changing scale with representation — a play between the macroscopic, the mesoscopic, and the microscopic. TABS becomes a triptych of states: an ordered network of free association, a de-evolving system — a modular map of fluctuating, distilling thought.
