About This Work
This prism is a vertical mixed‑media structure that blends architectural language with urban ephemera. Its surfaces are built from layered fragments of printed materials, technical diagrams, tickets, typographic shards, star motifs, and photographic textures. The palette is dominated by orange, red, gray, and muted industrial tones, giving the piece a grounded, infrastructural presence.
The collage incorporates elements that evoke construction, engineering, and institutional systems — fragments of text referencing materials, architecture, numbers, codes, and bureaucratic language. These components interact with more playful graphic symbols, creating a tension between rigid structure and visual noise.
A single vertical metal rod rises from the top of the prism, ending in a spherical tip. This element acts like a surveying instrument, a measurement device, or an architectural marker, extending the sculpture upward and reinforcing its connection to build environments and technical processes.
Each face of the prism reveals a different micro‑archive: one side dominated by bold orange fields and star motifs, another filled with text fragments and industrial references, another layered with photographic textures and coded symbols, another combining geometric patterns with construction‑related language.
Together, they form a totem of urban infrastructure, a sculptural collage that feels like a compressed building — part blueprint, part billboard, part memory device. The piece continues your exploration of how printed debris, institutional language, and architectural fragments can be transformed into a vertical artifact of contemporary life.
