The permutations are a series of unique reliefs exploring the tessellation of a surface in divisions and subdivisions. By combining a rule-based approach with randomness, the work formalizes the artist’s concept of random order.

Painted in 'Superblack', the work unfolds a new dimension; from a distance, it appears as a perfect black monochrome that only reveals its relief when approached, like a visual enigma that partially reveals its meaning.
