Inspired by the multi cultural story of the tower of Babel, the fluorescent, multichromatic mirrored plexiglass sculpture Babel no 8, reminds us of the interconnectedness and interdependence between all things present, reconnecting that which has been disconnected and displaced . The tower as triangular geometric form, appears as a totem, a pillar or skyscraper, an archetypal form in our communal memory and symbol of civilization. The sculptural structure combines the usage of utilitarian materials, such as bolts, door hinges and plexiglas, hinting at the ready-made, commerce, modernist architecture and topology of the vertical space. This selection of materials further reflects on the artist’s association with the radical Bauhaus philosophy of uniting the arts through playful modification of everyday objects and utilitarianism. Though geometric and angular, the structure alludes to the illusion of space and form, with colors intersecting, creating new hues of greens and blues, reflected in the mechanics of eternity mirrors. As the surrounding light installation alters across the higher frequencies of the color spectrum , the semi-transparent and fluorescent panels perceptually alter color, reflecting and refracting variations of light.
