# No. 2 – Hexalum

A honeycomb-like structure with a rising rhythm, whose coloured gaps read like translucent light and lend it an illusory depth.

- **Completed:** January 2, 2023
- **Size:** 101 × 81 × 7 cm
- **Edition:** Unique artwork, handcrafted
- **Material:** Paper 100 g/m²
- **Substrate:** BRAMANTE Whiteboard, 2200 g/m², acid-free and age-resistant, 101 × 81 × 0.3 cm
- **Frame:** white lacquered wood
- **Parts:** 126 hexagonal prisms

In this three-dimensional paper work, a multitude of hexagonal prisms with inclined surfaces are arranged into a complex, honeycomb-like structure. The prisms vary in height, giving the installation a texture and a positively ascending rhythm inspired by organic patterns.

Through the subtle coloring of the intermediate spaces, reminiscent of translucent light, an additional dimension and illusory depth is added to the structure. The color accent adds a layer of vibrancy and energy, contrasting effectively with the pure white of the paper forms.
