Sol LeWitt to Haegue Yang - Extended grid

This piece is a cube-shaped installation made of steel. The structure follows a 3x3x3 pattern, but with one row missing, creating a unique form with a continuously incomplete grid.

“This piece begins with Sol LeWitt's conceptual cube structure and is reimagined through Haegue Yang's "Sol LeWitt Upside Down" series. The mathematical order and logic inherent in LeWitt's cube, and Yang's subversion of it on a sensory and identity level, inspired me to imagine a new form of the cube.The cube I created is based on the material of steel and appears to follow the regular 3x3x3 structure, but one row is missing. This absence creates structural tension and allows the form of the cube to constantly vary within the space. Depending on the viewer's perspective, the balance of the form shifts, breaking and recovering, and in this process, the cube exists not as a fixed meaning but as a fluid, transformative shape.Through this work, I sought to explore how a form can be reinterpreted through absence and how it can be differently sensed within a space. This cube is a dialogue between concept and sensation, order and imbalance, and serves as a sculptural experiment in freedom based on rules.”
