The concept of the work is similar to that of a Rorschach inkblot test. A single polyhedron is used like a pixel to assemble an intentionally undetermined and abstract form. It is then the perception of the whole that imbues meaning to the piece.
The work retains a visibly high standard of technical execution, yet has a more textured feel due to the visible welds and soft patina from the rusting steel.
The mirror-polished base makes the piece feel as though it passes into the ground; this break in the line of the sculpture is reminiscent of the fold in Rorschach’s inkblot tests.
