Thirty-three fragments — leftover scraps from previous silkscreen collage pieces — become the raw material for an experiment in constraint. A random number generator dictated which pieces to use and how long each composition could take, removing personal choice and leaving outcomes to chance. Within these fixed parameters, chaos and order coexisted: not as opposites to be resolved, but as forces that shaped each other. The scraps here are not remnants to be redeemed — they are active participants in a system designed to discover what emerges when creativity has nowhere left to hide.
