Alveolata 2.6.B : the Lignum Series 2024
The Lignum Series is a new collection of complex modular sculptures made of wood, inspired by principles of self-organisation found in nature.
The sculptural textured details allude to the actual cellular composition of wood, magnified from the microscopic level to a pattern visible to the human eye.
The sculpture was showcased as part of Glimpses of Infinite Symmetry 2014-2024, a retrospective exhibition at Romanian Creative Week 2024.
This exhibition marked 10 years since Vlad’s first solo show in his home country, Romania. It brought together some previous works and prototypes from the Miniplex and Synthetic Nature series, as well as new pieces designed specially for this event: the Lignum series. Curated by Galateca Gallery.

A modular system
Built on the principle of sustainability, the structure is designed to be ever-changing, allowing for easy reconfiguration and adaptation to different contexts. It is an exploration of the art of dynamic design with a digitally crafted and eco-friendly sculpture.
Employing algorithmic design, precise digital cutting, and hand assembly, the Alveolata 2.6.B is not only visually striking but also environmentally conscious. It’s demountable system ensures simple disassembly, promoting recycling and reuse of all components.
