The Wonder

The Wonder uses three-dimensional space as an instrument for measuring proportion — specifically, the proportion between a human figure and an environment large enough to make that figure functionally invisible. Each scene in the series is constructed at a scale where the person becomes a small dark form at the edge of something enormous: not a focal point but a reference, a scale bar that makes the space comprehensible and devastating simultaneously. The environments are not recognizable places but formal arguments — geometric proposals for what combination of light, architecture, and atmospheric depth is required to produce the specific emotional experience of genuine awe. The project reverse-engineers wonder.
