Tangram (Plesiosaurus)
2015
A playful yet cerebral composition that reconstructs the prehistoric form of a Plesiosaurus using the ancient Chinese puzzle of the tangram, assembling geometric shapes into the silhouette of the long-extinct marine reptile. The work invites viewers to consider how complex forms — both living and conceptual — can be reduced to, or built from, simple elemental parts. There is a quiet tension between the rigidity of the angular pieces and the fluid, organic creature they collectively evoke.
