'The Most Famous Problem in the History of Mathematics is that of Squaring the Circle IV' is a polyptic made up of 11 separate canvases which when seen together, their images make up that of a collective circle. The composition is fragmented, destabilizing the image and the elements of Euclidian geometry. As the title suggests, the resulting image references the challenge of making a square that has the same area as a given circle.
