Serie: Destabilized Symmetries

DESTABILIZED SYMMETRIE 7
Destabilized Symmetry 7 is a wall-mounted sculptural work by José Bonilla that investigates perceptual instability through modular geometric repetition. The composition combines directional patterns with contrasting color fields and volumetric elements, generating optical vibration and spatial tension. The interaction between repetition and variation disrupts the viewer’s sense of symmetry, activating perception through movement and shifting viewpoints. Materials: wood, acrylic, epoxy resin, and acrylic paint. Dimensions: 120 × 50 cm. Series: Destabilized Symmetries.

DESTABILIZED SYMMETRIE 1
Destabilized Symmetry 1 is a wall-mounted sculptural relief by José Bonilla that explores perceptual instability through radial geometric systems. The composition expands from a central point into repeated directional elements, generating optical vibration and dynamic visual flow. The contrast between red and blue forms enhances depth perception, while volumetric circular elements introduce tension between flat pattern and physical presence. The work activates perception through movement, destabilizing the viewer’s sense of symmetry and spatial order. Materials: wood, acrylic, epoxy resin, and acrylic paint. Dimensions: 60 × 50 cm. Series: Destabilized Symmetries.
DESTABILIZED SYMMETRIE 10
Destabilized Symmetry 10 is a wall-mounted sculptural work by José Bonilla that explores perceptual instability through modular geometric systems. The composition is built from repeated units that generate visual vibration and optical tension, disrupting the viewer’s sense of symmetry and balance. Color variation and structural rhythm produce a dynamic field that changes with movement, activating perception without mechanical elements. Materials: wood, acrylic, epoxy resin, and acrylic paint. Dimensions: 148 × 55 × 3 cm. Series: Destabilized Symmetries.

UNPREDICTABLE SYMMETRIES

Unpredictable Symmetries investigates how modular geometric systems generate perceptual instability.

Works are built through three or four adhered layers of linear structures; structural interference between them produces optical vibrations and undulations that manifest frontally and shift with lateral viewing.

Material thickness regulates the balance between formal coherence and perceptual intensity.

Color operates as a final variable, amplifying or modulating the system’s behavior without altering its structure.
