The collection explores the plastic flexibility of geometry through various strategies. On the one hand, the isometric manipulation (sliding, flipping and rotating) makes a static and incontestable figure such as the square, become dynamic without losing its essential geometric qualities. On the other hand, the overlapped layers of mesh of different densities makes them vibrate together. And finally, the use of color, frames the planes, gives depth and stimulates perception depending on how the light falls, making the visual weight shift from opacity to lightness.

Cheerful and colorful pieces that emphasize lightness and interstitial spaces, blur the perception and transform geometry with dynamic tension.

 

In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is, as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.

Josef Albers, 1963
