‘Kites for a Model Universe’ exists as both a fragmented book and an immersive installation. Its scattered pages, suspended by delicate wooden structures resembling scaffolding or miniature pylons, create a landscape of floating patterns and images. Featuring imagery of the sun, moon, stars, and rain, the piece bridges the industrial and the organic, evoking a poetic interplay between human constructs and the natural world.

While ‘Dream Book’ explores present-day anxieties, ‘Kites for a Model Universe’ suggests the potential for renewal. Though its elements appear dispersed, the intricate framework hints at the possibility of reassembling them into a harmonious whole. This dynamic installation invites viewers to engage with it as both a deconstructed book and a symbolic vision of hope—where fragments of meaning can be pieced together into something greater than their parts.
