Description: There are identical convulsive movements in the panels entitled Instants 1 and 2. Onlookers navigate between microcosm and macrocosm, convergence and divergence, as diagonal lines and diamond shapes swell up, even when trapped within sine curves.

These works each serve as a sharp reminder of the artist’s architectural background. The repeating diamond pattern, the tiny squares marking the work, a glimpse of objects and plants in the fabric prints all give visitors strolling past the illusion of getting to the heart of a city, or rather its form, in the grip of giddying metamorphosis.
