The artwork functions as a sophisticated tribute to classical Roman architecture, mimicking the layered arches and circular silhouette of structures like the Colosseum. It breaks these classical elements down into a striking, minimalist 2×2 grid. Each panel features an independent, abstract arrangement of stacked archways, geometric stairs, and circular cutouts nestled inside a floating circular frame.
The true beauty of the installation is how it plays with natural light. Because the arches and pillars sharply project outward, sunshine streaming into the room creates beautiful, deep shadow lines that naturally shift throughout the day. Finished in a uniform, grounding terracotta tone, it pairs effortlessly with mid-century furniture, linen rugs, and indoor olive trees to capture a complete “quiet luxury” aesthetic.
Medium: Mixed media installation consisting of four hand-cast structural polymer frames, lightweight plaster core compounds, and mineral terracotta dust pigments
Technique: High-relief geometric modeling; abstract architectural elements—such as miniature arches, pillars, and circular stairs—are carved into individual circular plates and nested inside matching square shadow box frames
Finish: A raw, light-absorbing matte mineral finish showcasing a warm, rich terracotta clay color tone with subtle, sandy surface grains
Form: A structured, balanced 4-piece grid configuration (quadriptych) of identical square frames housing deep 3D circular sculptural reliefs
