Info

This model explores how a single, manipulated boundary can recursively reshape an entire field. The process begins with a given site line, from which a new "red line" is peeled away, warping the original condition.Onto this distorted ground, a series of formsgenerated by the subdivision of a cubeare placed. Their interiors are mirrored, creating infinite reflective sequences that extend and complicate their own geometry. This internal reflection is then externally articulated by a forest of thin sticks, which subdivide and project the complex volumetric patterns into space.The project traces a chain of influence: from line (the redrawn boundary), to volume (the subdivided cubes), to perception (the mirrored interiors), to field (the sticks). It is a study of how a marginal distortion can propagate, multiply, and ultimately redefine a whole system.
