Jaye Moon mirrors this formal apparatus and repurposes it through the lens of linguistic encryption. Her Number Paintings maintain the aesthetic and procedural fidelity of Kawara’s format. Instead of universalized dates, Moon features encoded Braille messages—transposed into numerical form through a system derived from the Braille alphabet’s dot configurations. This use of Braille, a tactile writing system used by people who are visually impaired, further complicates the relationship between legibility, visibility, and access. It serves as a metaphor for the complex nature of communication in subversion, as well as the use of tabooed words. Her language is not absent, but rather present in another register that requires translation.
