My intention is to redecorate the walls of my apartment in the style of a modern art gallery, finding inspiration in reclaimed objects repurposed from their original purpose.

The black cardboard grid was my starting point, and I had many other holes or hooks to colonize on my walls.
I proceeded by contiguity by decorating the wall on the left, which had three holes. The two holes at the ends were aligned and previously supported a large mirror that extended almost to the floor, allowing a full-length view.

I wanted to maintain a unity of shape and theme by attaching two diamond-shaped aluminum squares salvaged from my old, broken Nespresso machine. So I had a continuity of form with the cardboard on the wall next to me, and I saw these metal plates as two cold eyes that reminded me of absence, the absence of the other, the absence of a mirror and therefore of myself.
It depressed me, even though I briefly considered adding a big mouth underneath to make a giant smiley, but it seemed out of place.
Since a new cardboard box became available (the miracle of consumption) and I had a hole to hide, I installed it between the two "eyes," which took on a new meaning.

I had before me a sort of frieze that could be read horizontally, inviting the gaze to move from one shape to another to decipher their meaning.
I achieved stability in the repetition of the shapes and movement through the dynamics of the gaze. And a rhythm as well, I believe. The metal plates invite a pause in thought, a time to refocus on oneself, while the black grids are more stimulating for the gaze and imagination, like optical puzzles.

This rhythm, however, is intended to be slow; through the reduced number of items, it is an invitation to slow down, not to consume the creation too quickly, to gently allow an emotion to emerge, a meaning that will come from this moment of exchange with the art, a mirror of our introspection.

The exterior elements (door frames) with different lines of force from the composition create a frame that further highlights the diamonds, and the break with the one on the right creates a sort of asymmetrical diptych or a slight resistance that can be crossed with fluidity or force depending on how you interpret it.

I think I'm done with the "Nespresso" theme, which is the keyword in the Proof of Reading (PoR) for this post. The first person to use it in their comment will earn 1 HSBI unit.
But I don't think I'm done with the diamonds, nor with my modern art-inspired interior design.
