About ‘The Great Unbinding’

A wireframe locks the GPO in digital geometry. Wireframe bubbles burst into vivid, yet tightly structured colour, echoing our controlled digital life. Then a dark tree spreads. Finally, wild, organic colours escape the grid, a true act of liberation.

This mapping on Dublin’s General Post Office confronts digital captivity, not just screens, but the deeper structures of information, work, commerce and social media. The first layer of colour, though vibrant, remains organised within the system. Only when raw, organic forms overwhelm the structure does true freedom emerge: disorder as release.
