Light Traces
Light Traces explores light as a device for reading the relationship between mass and surface.
A series of cubic volumes makes visible how traces, density, and transparency articulate form through controlled material modification.
The work applies a research on the relationship between mass and surface through the construction of a luminous volume.
Ground Studies addressed thickness, the relationship between a topological surface, modified by time and nature, in relation to geometries, reflections of human action. In that context, the relationship between action and reaction was visible in the mass; here it is articulated within the thickness of a minimal surface that describes form via different degrees of transparency or translucency.
The cube narrates four independent and at the same time connected episodes. The first three exercises expose three different ways of working on this dialogue: the line that becomes trace, the line that draws a landscape in compressed depth, the line that becomes mass, imprint, volume, absence.
The works question the relationship between plan and section, between surface and depth. They operate simultaneously as a reference to a touched ground and to a perceived background, oscillating between tactile proximity and visual distance. All the volumes are generated from a set of continuous curves that do not appear directly in the final result, but act as generators of relationships between forms, articulated as interconnected extrusions and subtractions.
