08AM’s Survival Report does not approach survival as a matter of experience, but understands it as a formal and structural movement through which existence sustains itself within the world. Through lines, planes, and their arrangement, the artist explores how forms are adjusted, reconfigured, and secured for continuity, presenting the canvas not as a finished image but as a structural process for contemplating duration. Rather than reproducing a specific narrative or evoking particular sensations, Survival Report focuses on visualizing the operational principles of the forms that existence selects in order to preserve itself. The work reveals these operations almost as a diagram, functioning as a philosophical model that invites viewers to reconsider the structures upon which their own modes of persistence are built.
