Swiss artist Yves Netzhammer creates a universe of "Concave Thoughts." Using the cold, precise language of computer-generated diagrams, he explores the messy inner world of human emotion, creating an empathic link with the viewer through the archetypal gestures of his featureless, mannequin-like figures.

Can a drawing be a haiku? This post explores Clouds, Glands, Tributaries, a work that juxtaposes scientific diagrams of storm clouds, eyelid glands, and river systems. It's a "visual haiku" that uses the "power of disproportion" to unlock a subjective and poetic meditation on water.

Since 1986, artist Mark Manders has been creating a 'self-portrait as a building,' treating his entire body of work as a single, evolving architectural space. We explore how he uses the diagram as a tool to organize his thoughts, creating laboratory-like sculptures that blend subjective poetry with objective science.
