CUBES photo series explores spatial design through 27 hand-built miniature interior models

CUBES is a long-term photographic series, developed between 2018 and 2025 by Seb Agnew, composed of 27 hand-built miniature architectural environments. Structured across three interconnected chapters: CUBES I, CUBES II, and CUBES III, the project examines how spatial design reflects human presence, historical continuity, and technological systems. Each image originates from a physically constructed model room built from scratch. Traditional model-making methods are combined with contemporary fabrication tools, including laser cutting and 3D printing.
