Rodrigo Sassi


Fractal, 2025

12 plaster and cement modules
11 x 7.5 m

A composition made of modules that can be rearranged in different configurations, like a changing system. The title refers to fractal patterns in mathematics, structures that repeat at different scales and suggest potentially infinite growth. Installed on a weathered wall of the former refinery, the reliefs engage with the tradition of Brazilian modernist murals, while rejecting the idea of a fixed, finished work. The action of time, humidity, and vegetation becomes part of the piece, gradually blurring the boundaries between sculpture and architecture.
