Freefall I

From Rado Kirov’s Freefall series, Freefall I stacks mirror-polished 316L stainless-steel cubes into a poised, vertical surge. Cubes in the series range from 10×10×10 cm up to 2.3×2.3×2.3 m, enabling bespoke compositions for any site. This work measures 90×48×46 cm.

Artist Statement

Freefall I explores how a perfect cube can behave like liquid. Each face is subtly deformed so reflections buckle and stream, turning rigid geometry into a flowing skin of light. The tower reads as a moment of balance—gravity pulling down, momentum pushing up—caught between collapse and lift.

1/1 Modern Exhibition

Present on a calm plinth at chest/eye height under soft, grazing light (3000–3500 K, high CRI). Keep competing mirrors and hard specular sources out of the primary field so the highlights travel cleanly across the facets. Maintenance is minimal: microfiber cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner only.
