Mathematical sequence artwork featuring Fibonacci progression with biological soil treatment creating varied decomposition effects on azure background. Numerals physically extracted from print surface form three-dimensional relief coated with earth material, bridging abstract mathematical principles and tangible natural phenomena through organic transformation processes.

The Shape of Infinity work begins with an 8×10 color negative photograph of blue sky as both literal and metaphorical canvas—representing the infinite expanse where mathematical laws govern everything from cloud formation to atmospheric physics. Through a process of biological intervention, the mathematical sequence undergoes transformation and organic decay.

This piece investigates the threshold between biology and symbolic human language, using the Fibonacci sequence as a bridge between abstract numerical concepts and tangible natural phenomena. Shape of Infinity extends the investigation of Infinity Clock into a different sculptural form: the same burial, decay and Fibonacci mask, but here the sequence is allowed to run further outward. The first layer spans 0 to 102,334,155; each additional layer builds on that first layer as its vocabulary, extending the count to 14,472,334,024,676,221. The more layers, the more incomprehensible the digits become.
