This installation explores how simple, everyday materials can be transformed into a complex spatial organism through geometry and repetition. Each structure begins with a perfect equilateral triangle, within which thousands of paper cups are stacked along a gently curving elliptical profile. This internal curvature creates a rising, petal‑like volume that softens the rigidity of the triangular frame.
Three of these forms are arranged in a radial composition, allowing the individual cones to unfold collectively like the petals of a blooming flower. The work highlights the tension between precision and fragility, mass and lightness, and the quiet beauty that emerges when ordinary objects are gathered into a unified structure.
