You are now stanting inside the portal, 2021
Conceived not as an image to contemplate but as a spatial field to inhabit, this work transforms the act of walking into part of the piece itself. Its surface expands like a cosmogram underfoot, inviting the body to enter rather than merely observe. By dissolving the boundary between artwork and environment, it anticipates later explorations of immersive scale.

Collected by square meter, with a finite edition of 10,000 m² and the molds destroyed after production, the piece exists at the intersection of sculpture, architecture, and landscape. It proposes a new model of collecting—one where the work is not simply hung or displayed but built into the ground as a lived experience.
Within the artist’s trajectory, You Are Standing Inside the Portal is a direct precursor to Nexarion (2024). Both works treat space itself as medium: not just an arena for objects, but as a material condition where viewers enter a cosmology.
