Syntax
An evolving visual language exploring the geometry of cities, machines, and minds.
Syntax is the conceptual art framework of Cole Design Works — sixteen interconnected branches that translate structure into abstraction. Each branch studies a different kind of system — from architecture and machinery to emotion and memory — rendered through modern geometric art.
New branches unfold as the series evolves.
