Folded bands of off-white build a breathing wall, stitched by a central fissure that organises light and minimal shadow.
About the work
Beneath an ash-grey frame, the plane rises like a wall of overlapping strips, with undulating, worn edges. The bands, arranged horizontally, advance and recede with slight variations, generating a cadence that avoids mechanical repetition. Along the central axis, a broken seam reveals the assembly: sections of corrugated cardboard emerge like a discontinuous column, anchoring a point of gravity and marking the passage between two adjacent halves.
The palette remains within a range of lime, sand and greys, with a tightly restrained ochre accent on the upper band, almost like a mineral deposit. Across the off-white, a speckling and bubble-like porosity spreads, recalling a saline skin; this grain, interrupted by small dark incisions, activates a subtle, sustained vibration.
The profile confirms a pronounced relief: each band folds into a flap and casts a fine shadow that intensifies the tactile reading. Light settles on the raised edges and dims in the fissures, producing a slow, architectural rhythm in which the support appears built in strata rather than painted.
