Enduring Geometry

Lauren Comito’s prints represent systems of complex organization, figures that dual as both schematic and substrate — waiting to be activated, assembled, and cultivated. Working from flattened packaging as templates, Comito traced the hidden geometry of everyday containers, finding within them the raw material for something far more enduring. Reminiscent of ancient codes and sacred icons, these large-scale black and white prints are blueprints for rebuilding, their shapes and compartments folding and unfolding to reveal a packaged logic that functions as both instruction manual and devotional object. The shapes drawn from these humble containers — their circles, grids, and bilateral symmetry — carry an unexpected resonance, echoing the geometry found in nature and in the sacred objects of ancient cultures. In reclaiming the disposable as something monumental, Comito’s work quietly asks what we choose to preserve, and what we throw away.
