NOTES:

Executed in 2014, Free Air One Two Circuit Board encapsulates Shantell Martin’s continued exploration of identity, technology, and visual language. This piece functions as both an object and a concept, merging the utilitarian structure of a circuit board with Martin’s minimalist aesthetic. Known for her line-based drawings and cross-disciplinary collaborations, Martin here gestures toward the invisible systems that shape human connection and communication.
