Dual Filtration: Kidneys

Dual Filtration is a series of ink drawings examining the kidney system under uneven load. The works focus on how filtration is maintained, disrupted, and redistributed when balance between two organs is no longer sustained.

Constructed through controlled linework and layered particulate fields, each piece maps the movement and containment of material within a shared system. Areas of density, dispersion, and interruption suggest the shifting capacity of each organ to process and carry load. Gold leaf is used sparingly to mark points of outcome and intervention, where flow is directed, altered, or forced to continue.

Across the series, the system progresses from strain to intervention to compensation. Under Pressure presents imbalance due to a system failure within an intact pair. Intervention introduces surgical intervention and the abrupt termination of connection. Supersize reflects the adaptive response of the remaining organ, where increased capacity is achieved at the cost of further structural tension.

Rather than illustrating specific conditions, the works observe how a system behaves when equilibrium is lost. Filtration is not presented as a stable function, but as a process negotiated under constraint.
