The goal of this project was to depict one of El Lissitzky’s proun in a 3D form. This proun is constructed of a series of horizontal and vertical rectangles which vary in size, with very minimal range of colours. I interpret the painting as geometrical, mysterious, peaceful, loaded with many layers and shadows. The luminary device I derived from the proun is mysterious in its overall form, but also geometrical in its individual pieces. To add more, the different layers of geometrical shapes allow for a playful and mysterious shadows - which are squeezing through different densities of engravings on the triangles.
