Systemic order and variation
I investigate form, space, and perception through a process of continuous reduction. My
work is grounded in basic geometric elements, not as motifs but as conceptual tools that structure relationships between surface, body, light, and order.
Over time, my focus has shifted from the material presence of the surface toward clear
formal systems. Recurring forms such as the triangle, the cube, the color field, and the folded plane function as variable modules within open structures. Their arrangements are determined by precise relationships of weight, distance, and balance.
Emptiness and white space play an active role in the composition. Through multi-part works
and floor-based installations, I increasingly extend the pictorial plane into real space. My work consists of precisely articulated structures in which order is not fixed, but emerges as a perceptual process.
