Statement
My sculptural practice is rooted in the exploration of shapes and their intrinsic qualities, drawing inspiration from mathematical equations as foundational elements. My work focuses on the object itself, transcending specific symbolic meanings and invites viewers to engage with pure form. I encourage viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity inherent in the interplay of light, texture, form and spatial relationships within the sculptures.
Artworks
Soft Lattice
22.0 x 22.0 x 22.0 cm
PLA and SLA
2025
This piece was crafted using the newly classified soft cell, designated F2, as described in "Soft Cells and the Geometry of Seashells" (PNAS Nexus, Volume 3, Issue 9, September 2024). The form closely resembles a truncated octahedron and like the truncated octahedron is space-filling. I designed a soft cell capable of interlocking with itself through a peg system. When arranged into a lattice structure, the assembly creates numerous empty spaces, which I adorned with decorative pegs. This approach feels quite distinctive as I am the only person with access to this particular construction set.
