Untitled (103rd)
Nerdy Frames, 2026
Digital illustration; vector on rendered ground
The figure regards the viewer through hexagonal frames, neither smiling nor withholding. Rendered in the visual grammar of mid-century editorial illustration — the warm sand ground, the deliberate roughness of the line, the restraint of a four-color palette — the work proposes the eyewear not as accessory but as architecture for the face. The clear lens is its quiet argument: this is an instrument for seeing, not for being seen.
Drawn in the house style of the brand's quarterly, the portrait belongs to a larger taxonomy of faces and forms — a catalogue that treats the act of choosing a frame as a small study in self-recognition. The hand is intentionally present. Nothing here pretends to be a photograph.
