The Geometry in Nature, 2023

The giant's causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. It is located on the north coast of Northern Ireland. It was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1986. The giant's causeway was named the fourth-greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom. It developed between 50 to 60 million years ago when a flood of lava oozed from fissures in the earth. The molten rock cooled and contracted, cracking into a series of some 40,000 columns. The artwork focuses on the perfect geometry that is a creation of nature. Being an architect, the artist emphasizes the fact that one can find geometry in every single element of this nature including microscopic organisms. It is in geometry that the basic structure of the universe exists. The balance of nature is disturbed when this geometry is disturbed. The innate nature of humans to maintain stability in life itself springs from nature. According to the artist, this urge should prompt humans to preserve nature as well.
