The word “Integroid” is coined by the artist. It refers to the fact that all the elements of the works are inorganic: machine parts, dead burls; but they are integrated into organic life-forms so that the resulting images appear as living, 3-dimensional things.
In this work from the Integroids series, Chodos fuses the textures of weathered roots with fragments of mechanical structures. The result is a hybrid form—part mask, part organism, part machine—that hovers between the organic and the industrial. With its stark symmetry and monochrome palette, the collage evokes both resilience and ambiguity: wood becomes bone, bone merges with steel, and a new life form seems to emerge. The piece reflects Chodos’ ongoing exploration of integration, transformation, and the spiritual tensions at the boundary between nature and technology.
