Steel sculpture.

20x20x8.50"

These works are inspired by Plato's Theory of Forms; I want to make physical an idea. The polyhedra are imperfect, physical representations of ideas that exist in the strictly non-physical, conceptual realm. What qualities do all particulars share, and how do these properties inform a universal ideal? What makes a chair a chair, a triangle a triangle, a tetrahedron a tetrahedron?

The industrial throughline of steel brings a utility and strength when used to depict symbols of perfection in the world. I was initially drawn to metalwork over ten years ago because of the material's durability, and how the medium lends itself to industrial design applications. Plato’s inquiries into the timeless perfection of imagined geometric shapes, and into how geometries might lie behind all nature, inspire me to make objects that (though necessarily imperfect because they will never have perfect straight edges, and must eventually erode) tease our minds toward the perfect.

The original idea of this collection, named “Location Isolation", started from the fact that forms and structures can have their own attraction regardless of where they are located. Old structures and buildings have their own story, beyond the political or historical view. These buildings witnessed different times and people, and now, after transforming them into museums, the buildings are not the same. As if someone was evicted, and now this home is no one’s home anymore.

Mona’s photography of these historical locations along with her photomontage of the historical events, attempts to illustrate recurring events at the same locations. This can be thought of as a co-existence and a continuation of different lives at a single location.

The final touch of color and texture added to Mona’s work emphasizes on the most important part of the piece, which is Mona’s deep connection to the location used.
