Epos

The Assignment
Five large niches in the upper facade of a new primary school building called for artistic intervention that would honor both the building's function and the core values of education: imagination, development, and curiosity.

The Hero's Journey
As a tribute to heroic tales and the endless discoveries of youth, I conceived the facade as an imaginary space - a world where children can dream of distant places, become heroes of their own stories, and explore infinite possibilities. Every child is invited to embrace their own hero's journey, full of learning, challenges, and triumphs.

The Theatrical Space
I transformed the facade into a living stage, but it needed to be a world without concrete references: a space where every object can take any role, free from cultural or religious associations. A Euclidean space filled with playful geometric forms became the foundation.

The design creates an optical illusion: colorful shapes appear to leap from the facade, forming luminous sculptures that give the building a magical presence. During the day, forms and textures interact with natural light. As evening falls, they become glowing beacons for the neighborhood.

This work embodies Het Epos's core values: community, curiosity, perseverance, growth, achievement, and happiness; inviting wonder and imagination from every passerby.
