360_Form_Forming _Formed
Wei-Ya (Catherine) Fang
Is the circle an illusion of perfection?
Can true freedom be found within the boundaries of control?
The circle is used as a visual and symbolic representation of perfection—a form that historically embodies balance,
completeness, and harmony. By inviting participants to trace a perfect form, the work reveals the tension between
control and surrender, questioning whether true freedom can exist within boundaries and if imperfection might be a more
honest reflection of being.
360_Form_Forming_Formed
Form, Forming, and Formed form a complete perspective showing that freedom and control are not in opposition but in dynamic harmony. These three books explore different aspects of this tension
360_Form
Highlights the value of deviation from perfection through vision and traces.

Collects reflections from 360 participants, revealing how structure can be interpreted and reimagined individually.
360_Formed
Highlights the value of deviation from perfection through vision and traces.
As a three-dimensional extension of the documentation process, I created a stool that is based on the circle that was
traced by the audience and created an average and aggregate of the 360 for the stool itself.
To trace
Invites participants to hand-trace a digitally generated perfect circle. This seemingly simple task slowly reveals a deeper tension between precision and deviation, control and surrender.
