“64-Square Universe explores the parallels between life and chess, focusing on the strategic decisions and stages that define both. Inspired by the chessboard’s 64 squares, I connect the movements of chess pieces to the phases of human life and the body’s motions. The six wearable pieces serve as extensions of the body, visualising strategy and movement in sculptural form.” - Larry Yixiao He
