This series of miniature puzzles each comprise a square 6 x 6 grid of pieces that are interrupted by a set of 5 platonic forms: a circle, a hexagon, a square, a trangle and a cross. Each of these formal disruptions carves away and reorientes the layout of the puzzle pieces. The shape of the box is a clue to how to solve the monochromatic puzzles. Without a reference image to guide them, users must evaluate the shape of each puzzle piece to determine if the straight edges correspond to the outside boundary of the square, or the interior void made by the platonic form. As the user finishes the puzzle, they may discover that they are missing one piece. After contemplating this shape, they should realize that the final piece doubles as the lid of the box that contained the pieces to the puzzle.
