Statement
I decontextualise, then I reconstruct.
My current enthusiasm is for seeing the world through mathematical spectacles and then reconstructing it as a designer. This transformative journey fuels my enthusiasm as I strive to unveil my personal "truth" through inventive creations. Driven by a deep fascination to showcase my ideas to the world, my art endeavours to capture its essence through the interplay of mathematics in various forms. With each creation, I aim to provide a glimpse into the transformative power of mathematical aesthetics, and how it morphs experiences based on scale, perspective and materiality.
By interlacing captivating visual aesthetics with tangible human haptics, my project invites viewers to embark on a journey that unveils the worldwide unity woven within the language of the universe.
calculated coins
Description
The art project I am embarking on explores the concept of currency and its societal significance. It challenges the complexities and power dynamics associated with money, aiming to reimagine a currency design that emphasizes its true value. By stripping away political advertisements and convoluted semantics, the project seeks to create a universal currency that transcends borders and unifies people on a fundamental level.
The project proposes a currency design that is universally understood, accessible, and visually appealing. Through mathematical craftsmanship and ergonomic considerations, the coins are designed with individual values in odd numbers, such as 7 pounds, 5 pounds, 2 pounds, and 3 pounds. The unique ridges on the coins enhance their ergonomics, making them user-friendly for individuals from diverse linguistic backgrounds or with visual impairments.
By removing the complexities surrounding money and presenting a common design, the project prompts viewers to contemplate the assigned value of currency and its role in our lives. It invites a dialogue about the societal impact of money and encourages a reevaluation of our relationship with currency. The project's ultimate goal is to foster simplicity, connectivity, and appreciation for the universal language that currency represents, prompting a greater understanding of its true worth.
