About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a strange, geometric sculpture. It looks like stacked paper shapes—sharp triangles and rectangles—forming a tower. At the top sits a small, simple figure with arms outstretched, like a person balanced on a pedestal. The sculpture feels both heavy and light, with its zigzag base and floating top. The lighting is stark, casting strong shadows that make the shapes pop. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more odd and clever designs like this.
