Installation | 2020

Distortion as language, cardboard as medium—this installation reconstructs perception through layered repetition, invoking the seed as both an object and a force of transformation.

Cardboard, stripped of its transient function, is stacked, cut, and manipulated to create a form that distorts perspective while maintaining structural logic. The result is a volume that shifts between solidity and porosity, resisting singular interpretation.
The installation explores the tension between material familiarity and spatial ambiguity. Layers of cardboard, methodically arranged, generate a continuous surface that appears both organic and algorithmic. The undulating form guides visual movement, challenging the viewer’s spatial memory and compelling a re-evaluation of depth, light, and surface.

Growth is an accumulation of iterations—each layer building upon the last. Here, cardboard serves as both structure and metaphor, its stacked formation tracing a trajectory from density to dissolution. The controlled distortion generates a form that is neither fixed nor fleeting, but a suspended moment in transformation.
