Raw material turned into structure. The wood starts as something organic, irregular, marked by time. Grain, cracks, weathering, all left intact. Then it’s cut, repeated, and forced into symmetry. The result sits somewhere between natural and engineered.

The circular center pulls everything inward, while the angled segments push outward. It creates tension. Expansion and containment happening at once.

What’s interesting is how little is hidden. The manipulation is visible. You can see where the cuts happen, where the pattern is imposed. It doesn’t pretend to be seamless.

It feels like control applied to something that resists it. Order layered over imperfection, without ever fully erasing it.
