The Ways We Record the Universe

This work is a speculative microcosm—an unstable world where entities are not bound to a singular reality or form. They shift, converge, rupture, and dissolve into each other, existing in a state of perpetual flux. Within this image, bodies and structures refuse to be fixed, slipping between substance and abstraction, glitching in and out of legibility.

The framing of this piece extends this instability. The undulating form disrupts the surface, bending and fragmenting the image, creating peaks and valleys where the world inside stretches, warps, and folds into itself. This physical distortion makes the microcosm feel both present and unreachable—seen, yet always slipping just beyond grasp. Like a reflection in a rippling surface, the world inside is never fully stable, never entirely revealed.

By engaging with materiality in this way, the work transforms the act of viewing into something tactile, almost bodily. It plays with the tension between immersion and distance, between what can be seen, what can be touched, and what remains just out of reach.
