Bonsai – Afterform (Tiles 3×3)

What is visible is not the form itself, but what remains of it. Space appears as an imprint, as the afterform of a structure that is no longer present.

-

The work consists of a grid of nine tiles in which the original elements are absent. What remains are contours and a network of root- and grass-like structures that form around the missing tiles, outlining their shape from the outside.

The grid remains recognisable as a human intervention, yet is overtaken by an organic growth that does not submit to that structure. The work does not depict nature, but a condition in which a constructed order becomes visible through absence.
