    The Shapes Of series is an exploration of abstract concepts through the lens of cryptology and form. Each shape is generated by encoding philosophical terms into a spherical cryptography system, where the letters of the word are arranged along multiple axes. The resulting forms, seemingly abstract, carry within them the essence of the concepts they represent. By translating intangible ideas into visual forms, the series invites viewers to engage with complex notions on an emotional and intuitive level.

    The liquid-like textures of the shapes draw inspiration from Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of Liquid Modernity, reflecting the fluid and ever-changing nature of contemporary society. This texture emphasizes the transient and adaptive qualities of identity, relationships, and social structures in a rapidly shifting world. Through both digital renderings and physical sculptures, The Shapes Of bridges the gap between the conceptual and the material, offering a tactile and contemplative experience that prompts audiences to reflect on the ways abstract ideas shape our reality.
