A cube was first created through a 2D photo collage. Then, it was translated into a 3D paper sculpture using only mechanical joints (no glue). Joinery techniques such as slotting, tapping, weaving, binding were used.

MVRDV Light Sculpture

#paper, wire, PVC plates

After researching about the architecture firm MVRDV, I was interested in the grid language and iconic colorfulness of their works. Many of their buildings remind me of Rubric’s cube, and there’s always a sense of playfulness & adventure in their design. Based on these two concepts, I created this light sculpture in the form of a Rubrics cube or toy bricks, using wire, paper, and PVC plates. I also made it turnable and interactive as if it is a toy to play with instead of an untouchable sculpture. Also how light and shadow change with the turning also gives the sense of adventure and dynamic there.
