While appearing as fluid arrangements of standard bricks, the construction is in fact dictated by fixed funicular protocols — paradigms of arches and shells that remain indivisible, with bricks acting merely as load-bearing particles rather than design units.

While constructed from perfectly uniform dice, the sculpture’s free-form geometry and random gaps arise entirely from manual assembly — a purely artisanal collage that lacks systemic logic or architectural scalability.
