How We Define Space

1
Light as a neutral medium

Every work receives the same even illumination — we dissolve hierarchy between objects before the viewer arrives.

2
Absence makes the eye listen

Generous margins between works sharpen perception; we trust negative space to carry more weight than any frame.

3
The wall as first mark

A matte plaster surface, precisely tinted, is itself an act of curation before any object arrives to meet it.

4
Time spent is the only metric

We measure engagement not in scans but in stillness — the longest gaze determines what remains on view.
