Mercury Cubes

Artist Statement

Mercury Cubes explores the tension between geometry and organic liquidity. The cube, one of the purest mathematical forms, becomes unstable when translated into Mercury Effect stainless steel. Its faces ripple like disturbed water; edges blur; reflections scatter into pools and vortices.

Placed outdoors or indoors, each cube acts as a mirror that refuses to stay still. Instead of returning a clean reflection, it breaks the environment into drifting fragments—branches bending into silver waves, clouds stretching into metallic ribbons, people appearing as silhouettes caught inside a fluid dimension.

The work investigates how a simple, modular form can become alive through surface treatment alone. Whether installed singly or in clusters, the cubes function as gentle interventions in a space: sculptural anchors that speak quietly, yet mesmerize those who stop to look into their depths.

1/1 Installation

Site Type

Gardens, courtyards, terraces, lobbies, hotel exteriors, contemporary residential spaces.

Placement

Arranged as single focal points or grouped as multi-cube compositions.
Ideal when partially surrounded by natural textures: grass, stone, wood, plants.
Can also be placed in minimalist interiors where the reflections create a dynamic counterpoint.

Lighting

Natural daylight creates the richest effects—sunbeam flashes, soft shadow distortions, evening color shifts.
Optional ground-level LED uplights for night installations to emphasize the liquid facets.
