NAGI TEI is a work that conceives a minimal structure made entirely of ice as a kind of garden an ephemeral equilibrium in which freezing and melting intersect. Three ice plates lean against one another at specific angles, standing autonomously without fixed joints, supported only by their relationship. In the cold environment, the form is maintained, yet a thin film of meltwater begins to appear on the surface, quietly reflecting light. Its subtle wavering shifts with angle and distance, sustaining a balance that never collapses yet never fully stabilizes. The winter air itself becomes a structural element, as the material’s phase transition and the play of light reveal the logic of a three point support. Rather than presenting a form, the work constructs a framework that receives conditions of light and temperature, creating a field in which generation and dissolution coexist.
