Latinus: The Dialectic Between Surface and Reflection

Latinus takes its name from the classical and enduring nature of the form , but it is reinterpreted in the spirit of modern sculpture. This piece is not simply a reflective surface, but a massive, sculptural architectural element that bends the perception of space and dissolves boundaries. Latinus straddles the delicate line between a functional object and a work of art possessing emotional depth .

Material and Touch: The Noble Transformation of Plaster

The essence of Latinus lies in taking the material beyond its conventional use.

• Handcrafted Exclusive Composition: The frame's outer layer is crafted entirely by hand using traditional craftsmanship, using specially blended plaster-based formulas . This process gives the frame's surface a smooth, yet organic, lived-in texture . The contact of light with the surface creates subtle shadows and tonal gradations, revealing the essence of the material .

• Mass Existence: The frame, with a deep profile of just $21\text{cm}$ , creates a strong, three-dimensional sense of mass even when hung on a wall. This depth acts as an architectural threshold around the mirror, separating its own spatial space from the virtual space within .

Form and Perception: The Void Within

The mirror is a sculptural expression of a simple rectangular form.

• Monolithic Boundary: $150\text{cm}$ height and At $70\text{cm}$ wide, Latinus acts as a vertical portal . Its thick, sculpted frame frames the reflective surface like a sacred object , making the reflection a scene trapped within the form .

• Reflection and Meditation: The mirror reflects not only the viewer's self but also the continuity of space and the transience of time . Latinus invites the viewer to reflect on the ontological gap between the reflected reality and the concrete presence of the massive frame , creating a dialectic in which self-consciousness and aesthetic value are questioned.

Latinus is a wall architecture that combines mass sculpture with the abstract void of the surface , processes traditional materials with an innovative determination , and brings elegance and thought while adding weight and depth to its space.
