CURATORIAL NOTE

CURATORIAL NOTE

The work, in full.

The work, in full.

Cobalt Assembly builds an urban rhythm without describing a street. Blocks, sloped planes, and small illuminated apertures accumulate above and below one thin pale line.

The lower half behaves like a reflection but refuses exact symmetry. Scarlet, mint, and ochre interruptions create a route through the density while deep blue remains the dominant spatial material.
