Overview

“Candy Bowl Reflector” embodies a graceful dance of nature’s gestures. It delicately adheres to the wall, offering a nuanced play between the realms of presence and absence. This dynamic interplay forms an intermediary realm where reflections and shadows converge. The prismatic borders of its flat facade hint at an unanticipated layer of geometry, evoking a space suspended between dimensions—a world teetering on the brink. Its composition derives from an array of meticulously hand-cut paper cutouts, that have been digitally mashed up to reshape itself into an entirely novel and captivating form.

Goals

Activate a public space with minimal materials. Reformat natural formations into silhouetted reflection.
