The Cubes from my father (In initial development )

CUBES is an ongoing visual project built from a set of wooden blocks once used by my father in psychological testing. Known as Kohs blocks, these simple geometric forms were originally tools for measuring perception, cognition, and spatial reasoning. Decades later, they become material for memory, reconstruction, and dialogue across generations.

In my father’s hands, the cubes were instruments of analysis. In mine, they are instruments of reflection. I photograph, arrange, mirror, and multiply them — transforming clinical objects into poetic structures. What once measured the mind now maps absence, inheritance, and the invisible architecture between father and son.

The work explores how meaning shifts over time. A scientific tool becomes a sculptural language. A childhood object becomes an archive. Geometry becomes emotion. Through repetition, symmetry, and variation, the cubes form visual systems that echo both psychological patterns and typographic grids — logic and intuition sharing the same space.

CUBES is not about solving a puzzle. It is about holding one. About rebuilding a relationship through form. About discovering that memory, like geometry, is constructed piece by piece.
