Subduction Bloom

Posted on 31 August 2025 | by Denis

Subduction. Seduction.

Subduction Bloom is part of the Telluric Forms series, a body of digital artworks where earth’s hidden forces meet luminous emergence. In this piece, dark geological textures slowly open into a glowing brown-orange bloom, suggesting the invisible tension of tectonic drift. The word “subduction” — collapse and disappearance — meets the resonance of “seduction,” an invitation into depth and beauty.

The artwork invites viewers to imagine what lies beneath the surface: strata, pressure, collapse, and yet also the possibility of renewal. By working digitally, I aim to translate these immense natural processes into contemplative abstractions for the screen and for print. Each gesture, each texture, recalls the slow rhythm of the earth, while the luminous traces evoke breath, vibration, and sound.

From Stillness to Motion

Subduction Bloom exists both as a limited-edition print and as an animated variation. The print reveals a tactile intensity, with cracks and glowing undertones that evoke the sensation of stone, ash, and bloom. The animation enhances this atmosphere, introducing subtle shifts in light and motion inspired by sonic vibrations, much like a quiet echo of geological soundscapes.

Subduction Bloom was first published on Instagram as a 20-second reel. This initial presentation highlighted the animated dimension of the work, combining subtle light shifts with a sonic-inspired rhythm. The reel allowed the piece to reach a wider audience online, where the contemplative qualities of the animation resonated with the slow, immersive flow of digital platforms.

Subduction Bloom Availability

Subduction Bloom is available in both limited-edition print and animated versions. Collectors can acquire the physical work through Unique Editions, which details the formats and print specifications. Subduction Bloom is also listed on Singulart, ensuring secure transactions and global shipping. This dual presence reflects the artwork’s hybrid nature: both a contemplative print for the wall and a motion-based piece for the screen.

Whether experienced in its static form or through its meditative animation, Subduction Bloom remains a threshold work: a moment where geological collapse transforms into luminous emergence.

Abyss Vein

A Vein Surfaces in the Abyss

Abyss Vein is a suspended fracture — a moment where pressure and light converge in silence. Emerging from the Telluric Form series, the piece reflects on rupture, containment, and the internal movement of matter just before release. The central form evokes a glowing fissure, not erupting, but forming slowly under invisible weight.

The composition plays with opposing forces: darkness and light, structure and erosion, density and drift. Visual tension builds through layered textures, subtle distortions, and the suggestion of geological depth. Nothing explodes — instead, everything holds. The surface becomes a site of pressure, silence, and presence.

Abyss Vein is available both as a limited-edition archival print and as a contemplative screen-based work. While the print captures the tactile weight of the image, the moving version animates the fracture itself — revealing slow pulses of light, minute shifts in atmosphere, and the emergence of form from within.

The animation unfolds like a tremor just below perception. It is not narrative but spatial — a subtle choreography of textures and light, meant to be inhabited rather than watched. Its ambient soundtrack draws from ASMR aesthetics, amplifying the immersive and tactile quality of the piece. This screen-based version invites quiet attention, functioning as a digital relic in motion. Watch the animation on Instagram.

Whether viewed as a physical print or a silent digital presence, Abyss Vein reveals a space of tension held open. It invites us not to witness a rupture, but to enter the moment just before it becomes one.

Not a fracture. A pulse. An opening. A passage.

Compression Fault

A Slow Breach in the Frame

Compression Fault explores a moment of suspended tension, as if the image surface had been subjected to internal pressure. Movement isn’t visible, but its echo is everywhere: a subtle shift, an invisible force, a fault compressing light.

In developing this piece, I layered different elements of digital matter: faint geometric forms, soft directional blur, a sweeping light barely present, and veils of ochre and white that alter the sense of depth. It was built for the screen, in a vertical format where time stretches and the eye drifts slowly.

What Inspired Compression Fault

I often work at the edge of perception, where motion is hinted at but not confirmed. With Compression Fault, I wanted to slow everything down — not just visually, but emotionally. The quietness of the colour field contrasts with the fractured geometry, creating a space for pause. This piece invites the viewer to sit inside the hesitation, to sense the pressure before the rupture, and to consider how digital matter can still carry tension, silence, and time.

The title suggests rupture or collapse, but here, the fault doesn’t explode. It expands. It absorbs. I wanted the animation, as well as the static image, to hold the moment just before the fracture, like a slowed-down landslide or a silent atmospheric pressure.

This work is part of the Core Archive series, where each image acts as a threshold between stillness and motion, presence and trace.

Light holds its breath. Geometry trembles at the edge of disappearance. The fault is not broken — it is becoming.

Digital Fragments 407

Interaction Between Gesture and Colour

Digital Fragments 407 emerged from a spontaneous interaction between gesture and colour. What began as curved forms quickly evolved. Saturated blues and yellows asserted themselves, creating a sculptural rhythm against a soft, atmospheric background.

At first, a thin diagonal line near the bottom right appeared by accident. Instead of removing it, I chose to keep it. That subtle mark became a quiet reminder that chance and intention often coexist in abstract work. In many cases, it is the unexpected that brings a composition to life.

Digital Fragments 407 is part of the larger Digital Fragments Series. This body of work explores abstraction in the digital realm, balancing gesture, texture, and light. Each piece aims to preserve a trace of movement, suspended in a state of stillness.

Digital Fragments 407 was also featured in the Festival Franco-Ontarien 2025, as part of a group exhibition celebrating the diversity of Franco-Ontarian artists presented by BRAVO.

Digital Fragments 401

Digital Fragments 401

Digital Fragments 401 is part of the Golden Rule Series. In this body of work, I explore movement, texture, and transformation through digital abstraction. Although each piece begins without a plan, it often finds its own rhythm. In this one, the forms seem to shift and pulse, as if suspended between stillness and motion. As a result, light and shadow sculpt the surface, revealing depth in every fold.

At the same time, a golden backdrop introduces a sense of calm. It acts as a quiet contrast to the restless energy of the forms. Moreover, soft pink and silvery tones enhance the sensation of movement. Consequently, the entire composition feels like a living, breathing material, constantly in flux.

Ultimately, Digital Fragments 401 continues my search for balance. I am drawn to spaces where structure dissolves. After all, that is often where the image begins to speak.
