Cubist Geometry 5 continues the series' conversation with its source — and pushes it further.

The torso is tiled with aperiodic Einstein tiles, one of only two known geometric shapes that can cover a plane without ever repeating. Discovered in 2023, they bring a rigorous mathematical unpredictability to a tradition that has always been interested in fracturing the expected. Color-shifting automotive paint and mirror-like platter insets change as the viewer moves, demanding the active looking Cubism always required.

The reflective surfaces do something the original movement couldn't: they pull the viewer's own image into the work. Observer and subject collapse into each other. Multiple perspectives — a Cubist ideal — achieved through the physics of the material itself.
