Galen Gibson-Cornell’s Chakuza blurs the line between preservation and decay, featuring a heavily distorted figure emerging from its woven surface. The edges of the piece mimic the raw, torn remnants of a street poster ripped from a wall, reinforcing its origins in urban materials. Sourced from found street posters in Berlin, the composition carries the visual language of the city’s streets—layered, fragmented, and altered by time. The weaving process reshapes the image, creating a sense of movement and disintegration, as if the figure is caught between fading away and being reassembled. Chakuza captures the impermanence of public imagery and the ever-changing narratives embedded within city spaces.
