    Statement of Work

    BleuBerry is the founder of http://www.CupGallery.com and an architectural installation artist whose practice explores how ordinary materials can generate new spatial depth and emotional resonance. His paper-cup installations investigate repetition, openness, and the quiet structures that emerge when simple modules are arranged with intention. By stacking thousands of cups into diverse forms, he reveals the underlying geometry of each structure, allowing viewers not merely to look at the work, but to look through it.

    In 2026, for the 25th anniversary of September 11, BleuBerry created “BBA002 Towers” (also titled 2,977 Silences, Towers of Trembling Memory), stacking exactly 2,977 white paper cups — one for each life lost — into two monumental yet fragile towers. This work transforms the paper cup into a vessel of collective memory and absence, intentionally unstable so that it may slowly tremble and shift over time, mirroring the living, impermanent nature of remembrance itself.

    For BleuBerry, the paper cup is more than a material—it is a metaphor. It is a vessel of air, a trace of presence, and a unit that demonstrates how individual elements accumulate into collective form. His installations are not solid monuments but permeable spaces where light, air, and perspective shift continuously. As viewers move slowly around the work, they encounter what is revealed in the gaps and witness how an ordinary cup can become a quiet form of remembrance.

    Through these structures, BleuBerry offers a contemplative encounter—one that reflects on fragility, resilience, and the ways we navigate the spaces left behind.
