Much like an anagram, rearranging all the tiles in the original face, reveals a new character. Each face embodies a distinct persona, and here are a few examples:

Off the Grid.
Constructed on a grid, Kubikino is a project about shape, size, and the relative position of figures—geometry. Here, I wanted to expand Kubikino off the grid and I created some imaginary sets, turning flat shapes into volumes.
