Derivatives
Phenomenology of Space, Perception, and Form
The Derivatives Project is an ongoing investigation into the perceptual and conceptual construction of space. Grounded in a phenomenological approach, the work engages with the instability of form as it transitions between dimensions—between the spatial and the pictorial, the constructed and the imagined.
Emerging from a loosely defined inquiry—initially, an abstract intuition involving triangles—the project resists a singular, fixed objective. Each object is a byproduct of recursive making, where formal decisions arise not from predetermined plans but from the embodied act of building and seeing. These structures are not representations of a resolved idea, but are themselves iterations of thought, articulated through material and spatial terms.
As the process unfolds, the notion of an “original” form dissolves; what remains is a series of derivatives, each contingent, incomplete, and self-contained. The project operates as an open system, where spatial propositions are continually tested, reframed, and undone.
The viewer is invited to engage with these objects not as static sculptures but as sites of spatial speculation—where surface, depth, and edge function less as formal boundaries and more as perceptual thresholds. The work foregrounds the act of seeing as a generative, interpretive process, unfolding in time and in the mind.
