Code 0233

Code 0233 functions as both portrait and transmission. Drawing from Morse code as methodology—communication under constraint—the work treats dots, dashes, pauses, and silence as carriers of meaning. Referencing Nina Simone, the figure is rendered through interruption rather than spectacle, honoring a lineage of truth-telling where clarity often had to be coded. The work invites the viewer to slow down, listen differently, and receive what is revealed through restraint.
