Parallel Study — Pop Variant Coaster Set

Description

A visual study in duality, reflection, and self-recognition. Parallel Study — Pop Edition translates classic pop-art language into a contemporary queer context, balancing bold color with intentional restraint. The image—split, mirrored, and partially obscured—suggests identity not as a single presentation, but as something observed, performed, and privately known.

Each coaster in the set features the same composition, rendered in high-contrast lines and halftone texture inspired by mid-century comic printing and editorial illustration. Printed on a glossy MDF surface with a natural cork backing, the design feels graphic without being loud—playful in palette, precise in execution.

These coasters are designed to live where people gather: coffee tables, desks, shelves, and shared surfaces. They pair naturally with the more diagrammatic Field Study pieces in the collection, offering a parallel visual language that speaks through image rather than instruction. Together, they suggest that identity can be mapped—or simply seen.
