    You should take a closer look at this. The longer you look, the more you see.

    Luc De Man's sculpture "Cubes" symbolizes in a simple way the dialogue between human activity and creativity on the one hand, and the power of nature on the other. The starting point for the design of the Cubes sculpture is the tension between nature and culture: on the one hand, nature unfolding unhindered, and on the other, what is created by humans. When these two elements are combined, they find a new balance and form a new whole.

    Artist Luc De Man deliberately chose cubes. They are very rare in nature and can therefore be considered markers of human activity.

    At the Brussels Forts in Dendermonde stands Cubes, a tilted cube sculpture by artist Luc De Man. The work consists of geometric shapes, partially sunken into the earth and clad in transparent materials. The cube—a rare form in nature—symbolizes human order within an organic environment.
    With Cubes, De Man explores the tension between culture and nature. The sculpture merges with the landscape and changes shape depending on your viewing angle. This creates a subtle dialogue between humanity and its environment, in which art and nature reinforce each other.
