This artwork draws inspiration from Yves Klein's iconic Monogold and Monochrome Bleu works, exploring the idea of infinity and the limitations of representation. Yves Klein famously said, "A line cannot represent infinity," meaning that a simple line is too finite to capture something boundless.
In this piece, the "folded" wood creates a visible boundary between two infinite spaces—one representing the gold and the other the blue—symbolizing the infinite nature of these colors. The wood's fold, which forms a furrow at the bottom of the piece, acts as a border that links these two vast infinities, showing how even in the material world, infinity is a concept that transcends boundaries but is still inherently tied to physical limitations. The "furrow" in the wood becomes a tangible expression of that unbridgeable gap between the finite and the infinite.
This artwork plays with the concept of infinity, materiality, and the limits of representation in a way that echoes Klein's philosophy, inviting you to think about how we perceive and depict the boundless.
