Symphysis explores the concept of growth and interconnectedness, as well as the challenges of navigating the complex and ever-evolving landscape of information and communication. Through a refined understanding of space, color, scale, and line, Heydt offers a unique perspective that both builds upon and subverts our familiar understanding of these elements.
Central to Heydt's exploration is the concept of joints, where bones are closely joined or completely fused through fibrocartilaginous pads, creating either immovable or compressible connections. These joints serve as a metaphor for the ways in which we are all connected, both physically and conceptually, and how our understanding of these connections can influence our growth and development.
Ultimately, Heydt's work invites us to consider the importance of connection and growth, as well as the challenges of navigating an increasingly complex world. Through careful consideration of space and materiality, Heydt encourages us to think deeply about our own relationships with the world around us, and how we might work to cultivate a deeper sense of interconnectedness in our lives.
