About this work
Force Diagram (Spiraloid) visualises a force diagram as a three-dimensional sculpture. Lines of force that would normally exist as arrows on a 2D diagram are instead extruded, twisted, and woven into a self-supporting sculptural form.
The piece functions as a physical manifestation of vector mathematics — each strand in the spiral corresponds to a force vector, and the overall form emerges from their collective interaction.
