FIGURES

FIGURES – THE GOSPEL

Before Doctrine. Before Symbol. Before Certainty.

FIGURES is an illustrated art book that returns to biblical figures before repetition flattened them into icons.
Each person is approached as an individual—shaped by place, role, authority, and consequence.

What This Project Is

A restrained, museum-inspired visual study of presence and placement.
Meaning emerges through sequence rather than explanation, and through endurance rather than elevation.

Inside the Book

  • Illustrated portraits grounded in historical and environmental context
  • Cinematic composition with restrained, editorial typography
  • Narrative sequencing without doctrinal interpretation
  • Figures who speak, figures who pass briefly, figures who endure
  • A focus on place, access, authority, and consequence
  • An unresolved structure that preserves historical distance
