The Inverted Torus Fractal is a modular, stackable light-sculpture (or sculpture-only object) built from repeating hexagonal pyramid units. The geometry was developed through iterative parametric modeling in Rhino + Grasshopper - a rule-based system that keeps the form crisp, symmetrical, and scalable while preserving the same design language at any height.

Conceptually, it’s part architectural fragment and part totem: a contemporary interpretation of Piranesi-like massing, sacred-geometry rhythm, and meditative repetition. In light form, the stack reads as a faceted lantern; as a sculpture, it becomes a precise object with sharp shadow lines and a calm, grounded presence.

This design currently uses the base for the bottom and optionally for the top when building the taller floor sculpture version. It works fine, with or without lighting, but rigging the lighting into the top is more difficult than the others.
