Nudity as Material Honesty

We are used to surfaces. We trust what is finished. But what happens when the surface

is removed? Nudity is not about revealing for shock. It is about removing mediation.

When you strip away upholstery, cladding, paint, finishes,

you find something else. Screws become visible. Joints appear. Seams show themselves.

Nudity is not absence. It is the presence of truth. When something is nude,

it must stand by itself. There is no decoration to hide weakness. No surface to lie.

Structure becomes visible. Forces become readable. Assembly becomes obvious.

Responsibility becomes clear. Compare a polished object to its exposed version.
