This series marks a significant evolution in the Gap of Possibilities project, where the the perfect fissure that exists between the structural columns is no longer an absence, but the protagonist of the form. By meticulously assembling terracotta and zellige, these works reconstruct the exact geometries of those voids, translating the elusive “failure” of human systems into a physical, architectural presence. The terracotta provides a raw, telluric weight to these forms, while the complex zellige patterns—traditionally used as a cosmic metalanguage in Islamic architecture—delineate the edges of a knowledge that remains just out of reach.

By giving volume to the fissure, these sculptures act as containers and revealers of the “in-between” space. They honor the ancient proverb of the Samarkand Gate—“If you want to know about us, examine our buildings”—by suggesting that our most profound cultural truths reside not in the solid walls we build, but in the gaps we leave behind. These pieces invite the viewer to examine the “reconstructed void,” turning the limitation of our understanding into a tangible monument to the complexity of the universe.
