Installation, Video projection on three metal forms

The work features three geometric metal surfaces, illuminated by a video projection of slow, meditative sea waves.

​

The contrast between the static, precisely shaped metal sculptures and the dynamic, formless water creates tension, alluding to the attempt to understand the abstract and infinite through logical thinking, while also referring to the limitations of our physical senses.

The object references the concept of the White Cube in art, reimagining it as a reversed room. Instead of being a space that contains, it becomes an entity enveloped by its surrounding environment.
