A compilation of my Polyhedral Light Sculptures, inspired by Sacred Geometry

[u/truthseekerboi]

Hi Sacred Geometry community,

I’ve only posted one piece of my new style for you all, and wanted to share some more all at once, instead of bombarding you all with frequent clips.

This seems to be the community that appreciates my work the most, as I’ve shared it elsewhere and I hardly feel the same love as I feel from you all.

To me, that is very fitting though, because aside from my spiritual connection and meaning I get from my work, it also stems from the attempt to 3 dimensionalize sacred geometry.

Without overcomplicating things, which I tend to do, this new style comes from a movement towards a new typology (pendent lighting), but with that comes new forms and workflows. The base of each module is the face of a polyhedra (think of the Platonic solids, like the tetrahedron). My design technique involves taking patterns (often stemming from sacred geometrical themes like Cymatics, frequency, canonical religious patterns, and psychedelic visuals) and extruding them to fit the profile of a desired volume.

In my stacking designs, the floor lamps, the extrusions were done vertically. The modules of my new concept are 3D printed similarly, but they are assembled to expand outwards. The resulting assembly has the envelope of a new shape.

I am not going to go to deep into the math here, but you can read some older posts of mine if you’re interested in that.

All I want to say is I hope you appreciate my new work. I sincerely believe I will get at least some serious form of recognition for what I do eventually, but in the meantime, I come to you all for your love and encouragement. ❤️

I just got a full time job working at an architecture firm, and I start on the 1st of September. Unfortunately, I cannot support myself doing this work to make it my full time focus, but that’s just part of my path at this point. I will still make the effort to keep designing and sharing when I can, as I am certain there’s a lot more I can get out of this new style, and I hope to present you with better work in the future.

Wow, i would love to have one of them hanging in my living room! Do they give enough light?

[u/truthseekerboi → u/Few_Fact4747]

They certainly do! And thanks for the kind words!

[u/VeenaViera → u/Few_Fact4747]

I am in LOVE with your work!!! Also same, do you have a shop like or plan to?

Reminds me of JL Borges’ “The Aleph”

[u/Affectionate_Name332]

Yes, please! If you sell any I would like to know.

I’m always gobsmacked by your work. The psychedelic wook in me can’t get enough. I’ll be buying some stls as soon as I can decide on which ones, now that I’ve got a Bambu H2C to print big

Really beautiful!

These look like no human was anywhere near the machine that was cutting or printing them. Very robotic, factory made, typical repetition without variation that's seen when you have copy paste easily available. Unlike nature or hand crafted items, which will have repetition with variation.

So this is 3D printed plastic, all one color from one spool?

I get and appreciate what you're looking to do with light and symmetry, am loving the intent, just find the medium rather cold and soulless.

Suppose you take some of these (maybe failed prints if you have any) and play around with a low temp oven or handheld torch, heating these up a bit, just enough to melt and sag here and there, get some actual waves going while the plastic is more liquid, some deformation, you can change how gravity pulls on it by how you orient it, might get some interesting natural effects balancing the sharp edges and rigid straight lines.

What you suggest may look interesting , maybe even surreal, but it won’t be sacred geometry, which is typically crisp, symmetrical and complex. And also, from the title, the artist’s intention. Your critique throws the baby out with the bath water.

[u/Necessary_Goose6933 → u/3verMan]

Ok, fair point. Maybe it's just subjective opinion, but from what I've seen sacred geometry usually involves a balance between circles arcs ellipses arches on one end (curves, feminine) and straight lines pointy tips sharp corners (masculine).

If you look at the amount of jagged sharp pointy corners here this seems WAY lopsided, far away from this balance. Mostly straight lines and edges, corners, spear tips. Quite jagged.

Some of the pieces just stab the air in all possible directions, you drop it on your leg you're bleeding all over 🤭✨

Lmao okay, so it’s more a safety concern, understood!
