Statement
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.
