Cubist Geometry 5

"Cubist Geometry 5": A 21st-century Cubism homage. This e-waste sculpture uses "Einstein tiles" and color-shifting paint to show multiple perspectives.
Explore "Cubist Geometry 5." Reflective hard drive platters and aperiodic tiles merge observer and subject in this evolution of Cubist art.

Cubist Geometry 5 pays homage to Cubism with a 21st century spin.

It uses e-waste, aluminum, and raised elements to achieve the Cubist goal of showing multiple perspectives at once. Automotive color-shifting paint and mirror-like platter pieces morph the art as the viewer moves, demanding interaction.

The torso features aperiodic "Einstein tiles," a 2023 discovery and one of only two known geometric shapes that can cover a plane without repeating a pattern—a contemporary update to geometric deconstruction. Reflective platters pull the viewer's own image into the artwork, merging observer and subject.

Symbolically, the piece presents a commentary on our digital lives and the beauty reclaimed from technological obsolescence. Cubist Geometry 5 is an homage and an evolution, a work that honors its artistic predecessors while speaking in a language that is entirely its own.
