Social relationships under conditions of force

Abstract

Human coexistence, from antiquity to the present, regardless of social scale, necessitates constant interaction. As social animals, humans inherently depend on one another, both directly and indirectly. These interpersonal relationships are omnipresent; while individuals fulfill diverse roles, every function operates in systemic coordination to ensure social stability. The theory of Social Evolution is employed to explain these relational phenomena, reflecting the structure of mutual dependence and providing a framework to understand the significance of abstract, intangible relationships that are often difficult to observe. These interactions are interpreted through an abstract lens and articulated by applying the scientific principles of force—specifically the concept of Tensegrity. This principle relies on the equilibrium between tension and compression to create a stable structure. This concept is materialized through the sculptural process, utilizing abstracted human forms subdivided into individual units. These units are interconnected by a structural system designed to transfer force, ultimately achieving a state of balance.
