The meaning of a word is never fixed, but rather a diluted and imperfectly-defined version of its past self. Words lean on one another, echoing, colliding, and reshaping as they move. Undulating Perimeter starts with an imagination of how words would be if it were a living form without flatness. This artwork is a form that is constantly in motion; a light that is bouncing through substance and surface; a boundary that is retracting and expanding. It is between synthetic and organic. Its translucent irregular form and shadow are the echoing appendages, interfering with our perception.
