Cog in the Machine is a black and white wall-mounted mechanical sculpture that reveals its meaning through distance and proximity. From afar, a single white gear emerges from an all-black field, appearing isolated and distinct. Closer inspection exposes an interconnected system of black gears spanning the entire surface, camouflaged against the dark canvas. The piece reflects how we perceive ourselves as individuals while remaining inseparably embedded within larger systems that quietly shape our motion and direction.
