Air filter and method of constructing same 9, Black Square (Exploit)

A sleek aluminum framework supports layers of fibreglass mesh and delicate organza, their industrial and ethereal qualities contrasting against the dense, tactile presence of charcoal. Vierkant draws on the visual language of Malevich's iconic Black Square, reframing it through the lens of utility and filtration systems. The work blurs the boundary between functional object and abstract painting, treating the act of filtering—air, light, meaning—as both a material and conceptual process.
