Be Patient

In an age of the instantaneous where images have become accepted placeholders for real things, Be Patient is a call for an attentive appreciation of the physical.

Spanning over six feet in length, Be Patient’s scale lends it an anthropomorphic quality, establishing a physical presence that puts it in dialogue with its space and occupants. Be Patient is a lasting object that will develop and deepen, revealing its nuances over time. The hand-polished aluminum exterior subtly reflects the surroundings while a beam of light beneath pulls the eye upwards. Hidden within, the delicate intricacies of a central blade and baffles diffuse light.

By offering a point of reference, Be Patient asserts the importance of the physical objects around us not merely as accessories, but as companions, and as reflections of ourselves.
