Systems Hiding in Plain Sight

July 11, 2020 by Ola Haffar

Many systems are in place to keep us safe and keep us together, many of which we don’t even notice. There are aspects of the system that are failing people. I want to highlight systems surrounding us in everyday life which involve patterns. Lines, repeating objects, and geometric patterns. Some rigid, and some abstract. My project is about turning systems of objects to beautiful artwork.

Bulletin Board: Shiny staples, rusty staples, and holes where staples used to be. Many announcements made, many items sold, and hopefully many pets found.
Tree logs: Concentric circles of sister trees. If it was a floor, I’d enjoy walking on it. And if it was a stack, I’d wonder what’s keeping it from rolling into chaos
Hiding in the darkness is the infrastructure of the unknown
The quiet strength holding the noise of transport
Like the threads holding the blue sky above
As I peak ahead, I wonder about the start and the destination
The grassland behind the transparent yellow bars
Innocence behind the fence. Freedom in quarantine
All the planes connected
Wheels carry the cart. Carts carry food. But when they are not busy carrying, they assemble into the most compact of spaces
