Grid 1
2020

I often find myself oscillating between the perceptual and scientific realities. How we make sense of the world—how there’s what we see and feel, and then there’s what science tells us is actually happening. These two ways of knowing don’t always line up, but they both feel real. This work sits in that space between. It comes out of a long curiosity about time, space, and how architecture shapes our perception. I’m drawn to the ways we organise the world—grids, perspectives, systems—but also to how those structures can distort or even contradict what’s physically true. Einstein’s theory of relativity, for example, says time isn’t fixed. It bends. Space stretches. But in daily life, we experience time and space linearly. That disconnect fascinates me. Perspective makes things appear smaller as they move away, even though they’re not changing in size. The grid here serves both as a literal tool and as a metaphor. It promises order but also reveals its own limitations. There’s something beautiful and strange in that gap between appearance and reality. I think of this work as an invitation to notice those gaps—to sit with the contradictions. It’s not about resolving them, but about holding space for both: the immediate and the abstract, the perceptual and the scientific, the felt and the measured.
