The main idea behind successively connecting triangles came from our very first assignment -- a Sol Lewitt-type drift drawing, in which I created an equilateral triangle stencil and asked my classmates to travel from one border of the paper to another. This simple set of instruction results in a complicated system -- almost similar to layered infrastructure -- where in some case the stencil's modular units blend together into a bigger whole, such as a straight path or a hexagon. These unexpected yet astounding drifts were the main factors I wanted to reserve when making a more textural and dimensional model, as seen in the photos above.

The complex, multi-dimensional screen originates from a template I drew by hand on my Wheat Thins snack box. This template is then recreated and mirrored on Rhino, such that when they are both used to carve out Styrofoam units, the products fit together and create perfectly circular grounds for interconnection, while being altered everywhere else. The small yet strictly defined blockage of the template combines with the free-form flexibility of the wire-cutter create beautiful, rugged patterns that can still perfectly intertwine with each other. This process creates a lattice which transforms dramatically as one shifts his observation angle -- almost similar to an optical illusion camouflaging a highly ordered module and construction process.
