Staircase to Exordium (build week) by Joe Lilley from Oxford and London United Kingdom The installation is a dynamic structure that blends organic and geometric forms, creating a space that feels both futuristic and deeply connected to nature. Composed of interlocking wooden elements, it rises in a rhythmic, undulating pattern, embodying movement and transformation. The spiraling form symbolizes an endless journey, representing personal growth, unity, and life’s cyclical nature. This tapering effect creates a graceful, rising spiral, emphasizing balance and natural growth. As light shifts throughout the day, intricate shadows animate the space, reinforcing a sense of fluidity and change. This piece explores the intersection of art and architecture, offering a vision of harmonious and intentional design for the future.
