Gregariousness.
From Plank to Googol

From the smallest unit to an inconceivable multitude, the work constructs growth through aggregation. Microcrystals of carborundum accumulate until they generate a continuous structure.

This transition from the individual to the system reflects a law of gregariousness common to both the biological and the social: what exists organizes itself through relationships. The emerging form evokes a body or a superorganism without a defined figure—where each part functions as part of the whole.
Each microparticle refracts light and makes the density of connections visible. It is not the image that takes shape, but the dynamic boundary in which multiplicity becomes a fluid structure.
