This work was created in collaboration with Esteban de Isidoro.

Located in the middle of the central staircase on the ground floor of a multilevel office and educational space, the artwork reveals an ‘object’ which consists of a large deconstructed cube placed on a podium. On approaching the sculpture, smaller cubes are exposed, creating a three-dimensional space organised in a grid-like format, which could be repeated and expanded infinitely.

The comprehensive cube is positioned at eye-level and reveals individual units made of lime wood timber that are burnt at the edges as to mark the moment of separation. These individual units are connected using oxidised rods and the inner facets closest to the centre are carved in order to form a continuous concentric ‘nucleus’, its surface coated with bright yellow lacquer, which represents the living heart of the sculpture.

Its rationality and solidity, evoked by the sculpture’s purely geometric configuration is countered by the immaterial irregularity of the internal space and its bright yellow colour, which can only be revealed through the explosion.

The artwork is a reflection on the uniqueness of personal experiences which united, form a constellation; separated, yet always linked to the whole. The sculpture is named after Meraki – a Greek word meaning ‘doing something with love’ and ‘leaving something of you behind’ and represents how the individual experience can be shaped by the collective in a positive way, forming an eternal unity.
