This work explores the narratives of the fragment, resisting the self evidence of mere recognition, seeking the seductive and the ambiguous. It plays with the design elements of reduction and repetition. The reduction to lines and surfaces creates a simple beauty, repetition creates complexity, the minimalist approach inspires the imagination, the interaction of sunlight and materials arouses emotion. Reduction to the essential is used to create beauty, repetition and variation are used to dynamically constitute meaning.
