soft-geometry
Name of Work: Is it green on the other side?
Repurposed solid wood / 48”w x 16”d x 48”hAbout the Work:
soft-geometry reimagines their solid wood donut as a solitary outdoor window, offering a constricted view and passage to the other side. The sculptural adaptation invokes the window as a symbol of this moment in time, simultaneously separating and connecting people and masses, and present to (an uncertain) future.
The piece physically both obstructs and opens, and depending on the viewer and the moment, a shifting gaze through its oculus frames new perspectives, hope and fear.
