Conical Propeller, 2016 

The installation designed by the architect João Jesus for the Misericórdia do Porto Museum is inspired by the imagery of Christmas and its traditional cone-shaped pine. 

80 rectangular plates of different sizes were used, stacked from the largest at the base to the smallest at the top. Between each level there is an approximate rotation of 26 degrees from the previous level. The result is a geometrically defined shape - a conical propeller.
