With Hidden Universes, a new hand entered the constellation. David, an affiliate, offered visions of cracked spheres, surfaces breaking open to reveal layers within. It was the first major work that came from beyond the founding members.
The piece stood as a metaphor for affiliation itself. What seemed whole from afar contained multitudes inside. Just as every surface in the art revealed hidden worlds, so too did the collective realize that it could widen, draw in new voices, and still remain itself.
In Hidden Universes the philosophy deepened. The world was never singular. It was always layered, always hiding. To belong to the collective was to learn that surface was never enough.
