Michelle Prazak

Michelle Prazak's work engages the viewer´s perceptual experience through geometric form, challenging their conception of space. Confronting the impression of immaterial dimension and movement, her work provokes the gaze and promotes alternative modes of seeing. In experiencing her work, it is inevitable for a contemplation and subtle interpretation of space and time to take place.
