Space Cube
A spaceship has landed. Or is it a temple?
A widely used symbol in the sacred imaginary, mysticism, and mathematics, the cube has long been a source of fascination and mystery. Revered in some cultures as a symbol of stability and the divine, the shape also stands as an emblem of the human-made order (vs. the natural world), and powerful tool for rational spatial organization.
With this playful exploration iconography and symbolism, Space Cube offers visitors a glimpse of an imaginary world concealed behind translucent yet reflective walls. Inside, a symbiotic system is somehow at once organic and geometric.
Peering through the four peepholes reveals a hybrid city, selectively reflecting the world outside, augmented by emanations from within.
