8 Squares draws on the logic of the quadrant view used in modelling software, where a single image is divided into multiple simultaneous views. This is done to achieve as much quantifiable understanding of the model as possible. Rather than reinforcing clarity, 8 Squares uses the quadrant structure to introduce contradiction, allowing different parts to diverge and resist alignment.

The work emerges from a single quadrant before detaching from its source. From this point, the geometry generates further projections, unfolding across the surface, increasingly distorting the logic of the original framework. Through this, the quadrants become overburdened, no longer containing the projections they initiate.

The lower half of the drawing is an indeterminate space where forms are incomplete and in a flux of possibility. At the very bottom of the work, the drawing is reduced to its most basic elements - circle, triangle, square - returning to the minimal vocabulary from which new quadrant configurations can emerge.
