Learning
Date
2020
Materials
Float glass, black enamel
Technique
Kiln forming, cold cutting
Dimensions
3 × 5 × 11 cm
Context

Learning consists of glass volumes containing inscriptions written in a personal alphabet. The signs are distributed in three textual bands embedded within the glass mass. All inscriptions share the same orientation, allowing the viewer to decipher them by rotating the object. Inspired both by tarot structures and the hexagrams of the I Ching, the work proposes language as a field of interpretation where reading becomes an act of navigation.
