DESCRIPTION
This installation is a subtotal of a small and personal debate about design, functionality and visibility. It’s an interpretation of the celebrated design discussion of a basic repeating unit - whether it is modular, expanding, collapsible, stackable, parametrical, configurative or live. In one hand, its function is to be interrupted by contents – objects of different colors weights and directions, but at the same time, there is a constant aspiration to keep its construction and foundation visibly clear. In this case the unit – square - cube – is interrupted from the beginning to highlight the tension between the urge to create order, following a set of principles and the basic need of using and even abusing a designer’s work -

This installation is a subtotal of a small and personal debate about design, functionality and visibility. It’s an interpretation of the celebrated
design discussion of a basic repeating unit - whether it is modular, expanding, collapsible, stackable, parametrical, configurative or live. In one
hand, its function is to be interrupted by contents – objects of different colors weights and directions, but at the same time, there is a constant
aspiration to keep its construction and foundation visibly clear. In this case the unit – square - cube – is interrupted from the beginning to highlight
the tension between the urge to create order, following a set of principles and the basic need of using and even abusing a designer’s work -
