Hypercube
A tesseract — the four-dimensional cube — projected into three-dimensional space. Shown from multiple perspectives simultaneously, revealing that higher dimensions are already present in familiar forms.
About the Work
The hypercube — or tesseract — is the four-dimensional analog of a cube: a structure with eight cubic cells, twenty-four square faces, thirty-two edges, sixteen vertices. It cannot be seen directly in three-dimensional space. It can only be projected — cast as a shadow from a higher dimension onto our own.
The Hypercube series shows these projections from multiple angles simultaneously. Each piece in the series corresponds to a different rotation of the tesseract through 4D space, producing a different 3D shadow. Same object. Different glimpse. The full form implied, never fully revealed.
This is both a mathematical object and a philosophical one. The tesseract is the simplest demonstration that our three-dimensional perception is incomplete — that there are structures in nature whose full reality exceeds what any fixed viewpoint can capture. The Hypercube invites the viewer to become comfortable with partial knowledge, to trust that the unseen dimensions are as real as the seen ones.
The series is accompanied by animated works showing the rotation that connects each static piece — the motion that the sculpture cannot itself perform, made visible through its companion digital form.
