The Turning Point
With this in mind, I chose "Order" as the conceptual foundation for this body of work. Building on earlier studies of geometric pattern drawings, I continued to investigate the beauty and structure that emerge from repetitive geometric forms. I also became interested in how quantitative change can lead to qualitative transformation. This idea takes shape in how textiles, through repetition and structure, build toward a collective monumentality. This body of woven textiles was for transforming my understanding and reflection of creating and experimenting orders.
By arranging and combining simple geometric shapes, I aimed to build a system of my own. This process became the foundation for the development of subsequent works. Gradually, I realized that creating order can be both passive and deliberate. This passivity emerges from the collaboration with materials during the process of textile making. Working with an industrial loom requires certain compromises, as the mechanics of the machine limit direct control, and the behavior of the materials themselves cannot be fully dictated. As a result, testing various materials becomes essential. With each new material and structure introduced, unexpected phenomena emerge. Yet, these surprises aren’t random, they follow inherent and natural patterns. No matter how rational or meticulously designed a pattern may be, some elements remain beyond human control, inevitably imprinting themselves onto the final work.
This led me to examine more tangible forms of order in daily life. I began referencing architectural structures and everyday objects, observing how order and unpredictability often coexist—like the corrosion on architecture’s surface or the shifting sunlight through a fence. These insights continue to inform my work, prompting deeper reflection on change within constancy, and the inevitable disruptions to order caused by forces like time and natural laws.
It’s this infinite variability within defined boundaries that keeps me exploring. My aim for this project is that it encourages viewers to slow down and engage with each piece, discovering the forms of order that resonate with them. Ultimately, I want the work to inspire reflection on the duality of order—its clarity and its fragility—and how that balance shapes our lives.
