how to extend infinity

Plaster, sea water, freshwater

I wanted to do a sculpture that does not exist at a point in space; or, to make a Euclidean point: ‘that which has no part’.

I played with the paradox of fractal coastlines—whose true length is immeasurable—by casting cliff sections using calcium and seawater, creating extensions indistinguishable from the original landscape.

The resulting sculpture is not located at the point of intervention but theoretically extends throughout the entire shoreline.

Seawater produced different crystal structures than freshwater, yielding calcite with double-refraction properties that optically doubled any image viewed through it—a material quality mirroring my conceptual exploration of infinity and fractal geometry.
