7 The vision is inside a cube called a prototype, in essence.
The cube is not a simple support but a sacred container. The vision is not yet expanded; it exists in essence, in a latent and concentrated state. The prototype holds the original image, compressed, encoded, awaiting its deployment.
8 Once unfolded, it becomes a polyptych, multiplying the vision into thirty-six watercolors.
The prototype is enlarged, extended, and translated into thirty-six painted fragments. What was contained within the cube is expanded through scale and repetition, each watercolor carrying a portion of the original vision. The image grows by division, without losing its unity.
9 The polyptychs shall be assembled to form the complete image.
The complete image does not reside in any single painting. It emerges through assembly, through alignment, through the recomposition of the fragments. Vision is completed by the gaze, where enlargement, fragmentation, and perception converge into a single apparition.
