Shape of The Soul

“It is through geometry that one purifies the eye of the soul.”
– Plato

Our world is full of geometric shapes, and is even built by them. Through psychological composition and construction, we are able to form a gestalt understanding of the world and ourselves. Thus, each shape is identified and interpreted as part of a whole group of shapes; each being is approximated and perceived within the context of others.

Shape of The Soul is a work composed of dedifferentiated geometries, whether solid or hollow, without priority of interpretation. It explores the deformation of shapes, as a metaphor for the human soul, under the increase of entropy. Starting with simplicity, through the passage of time, life grows into a state of fragmentation, corrosion and chaos, filled with unforeseeable noise to form a unique trajectory of life. Thus, each path of transformation is unique and unpredictable, and so is the journey of the soul. It is in retrospect can one’s present being be explained by the influence of decisions made in the past.
