Forms from Life: Color Field at the University of Houston

Typoe describes the genesis of "Forms from Life," an installation created for the Color Field exhibition at the University of Houston.

The work draws inspiration from designer Ettore Sottsass, known for breaking conventional design norms through the Memphis Design Group, and artist Isamu Noguchi, who pioneered interactive public parks blending art with audience engagement.

The piece features enlarged, minimalist building blocks representing foundational elements of early understanding. Typoe explains: "It's an invitation to explore, engage, and reflect on how our interactions shape our worldview."

The installation functions as more than visual spectacle—it's a reflective space examining how foundational experiences inform adult perspectives, creating a dialogue between viewer and artwork.
