Polychromatic Ahistory reclaims the ancient practice of polychromy—long erased from Western art history—to challenge enduring ideals of purity, beauty, and cultural value shaped by the myth of white marble. Presented through three archival boxes of painted sculptural fragments and accompanying guidebooks, the project layers object, intervention, and interpretation to explore how history is constructed, contested, and reimagined through the politics of color.

A series of curated texts on surrealism and architecture. The book form is explored as an extended typographic and spatial system—both a time-based experience shaped by narrative conventions and a physical object whose tactile qualities inform its surface design.

In his practice, Jack seeks to foster meaningful connections between people, place, and story. He reimagines design as a vessel—collecting fragments of ephemeral moments and histories—and invites others to engage, remember, and co-create. Whether through sculptural books that unfold like rivers, installations that evoke loss and resilience, or experiential graphics that activate space, Jack aims to transform design into an immersive invitation to reflect on the flux of life.
