Vector Infinito is an immersive installation that investigates the idea of perception through geometry, light, and reflection. The work proposes an experience in which the visitor observes, is observed, and becomes part of an optical chain that appears endless. The space acts as an expanded field, where the notion and experience of boundary between the viewer and the environment diffuses.

This installation becomes a perceptual environment in which minimal bodily movement reorganises the spatial field. As the viewer moves, orientation, depth, and scale are continuously recalibrated in relation to position and proximity. Perception unfolds through shifting alignments that reorganise in real time, framing it as an active process shaped by spatial configuration and movement.

The work is informed by a philosophical and perceptual inquiry into how reality is constructed and mediated. Grounded in the snub cube, an Archimedean solid defined by its chiral symmetries, the installation draws on geometries used as visual frameworks to approach complex forms such as Calabi–Yau manifolds, proposed in theoretical physics as configurations of extra spatial dimensions in attempts to unify fundamental forces.

"I've said before that every craftsman searches for what's not there to practice his craft. A builder looks for the rotten hole where the roof caved in. A water-carrier picks the empty pot. A carpenter stops at the house with no door. Workers rush toward some hint of emptiness, which they then start to fill. Their hope, though, is for emptiness, so don't think you must avoid it. It contains what you need! Dear soul, if you were not friends with the vast nothing inside, why would you always be casting your net into it, and waiting so patiently? This invisible ocean has given you such abundance, but still you call it "death", that which provides your sustenance and work. God has allowed some magical reversal to occur, so that you see the scorpion pit as an object of desire, and all the beautiful expanse around it, as dangerous and swarming with snakes. This is how strange your fear of death and emptiness is, and how perverse the attachment to what you want."
Rumi.
