Geo-Modular 1.0 was born out of a need for play, not as escape, but as exploration. I wanted to see what could happen when I let go of expectations and followed impulse. I started cutting shapes without a fixed outcome in mind, letting color, geometry, and balance guide me.

This piece is modular; it invites rearrangement, like a puzzle that’s never meant to be solved. There’s joy in that freedom, and also reflection: how often do we allow ourselves to make without needing a reason? How often do we permit ourselves to follow curiosity?

In making this, I reconnected with a sense of tactile joy I hadn’t felt in a while; the kind that comes from handling materials, moving things around, watching forms come together and fall apart. It reminded me that play is a form of knowledge too (one that teaches through touch, trial, and intuition).
