'Heat' 2025

This work revolves around the concept of heat and the transformation of an object through entropy.

While examining the structure of the Giant's Causeway in Ireland, I observed its six-sided hexagonal formations, along with three, five, seven, and eight-sided shapes that tower and stretch over the headland. I also discovered that similar forms have recently been identified on Mars, our closest neighbouring planet. Inspired by Sol LeWitt's colourful, formulaic line work,  I incorporated this drawing method into a layered stack of random hexagons to construct the narrative I sought. The use of colours rising from a dark, graphite-burnt base reminded me of watching a fire- how the light rises and twists, forming shapes that emerge from the blackened core of the charred wood.
