The Accumulation of Transparency  draws on Henri Lefebvre’s critique of transparency as a facade that conceals power structures. The installation explores the paradox of glass as both a barrier and a symbol of openness, neutrality, and freedom. It features handcrafted glass panels with anthropomorphic objects and a video documenting distorted reflections of passers-by on the “cube berlin” façade. By aligning spectators’ movements with those in the video, the work prompts reflection on our interaction with transient social contexts and advocates for reclaiming public space from the alienation often associated with modern glass architecture in urban centers.
