THE THRESHOLD











The Threshold: From Symbol to Structure, a Metamorphic Passage




Year: 2024
Location: New York, US
Role: Lead Designer & Concept Development
Type: Public Installation / Pavillion
Status: Independent Design Research


"The Threshold" captures a metamorphic dialogue between two archetypal geometries: the portal and the star. This installation functions as a liminal journey, where the sequential evolution from one extreme to the other creates a physical and symbolic forward projection.

The work defines a linear rite of passage, gaining resonance through its interaction with the natural landscape. Each module represents a precise geometric interpolation toward the next, establishing a balance between the kinetic energy of the transition and the static stability of the two poles. "The Threshold" is an invitation to inhabit the site, transforming a simple passage into a moment of perceptual clarity and visual harmony.
