Once Upon The Time There Is 2

This monochrome construction stages an industrial cylinder like a quiet monument, suspended within a grid of planes that alternately absorb and release light through meticulous graphite gradations. The surrounding geometry—triangles, rectangles, and drifting circular nodes—reads as a choreography of measurement, as if the object is being surveyed, calibrated, and psychologically contained. Soft, honeycomb-like clusters puncture the hard architecture with a hint of organic order, suggesting the tension between manufactured certainty and the porous, living systems it seeks to discipline. The result feels both clinical and meditative: a study of volume and shadow that becomes a metaphor for how structure attempts to hold the unknown.
