This work imagines the beginnings of the universe. The jet-black
object evokes the nothingness that exists in the prelude to
everything, resembling a portal opening suddenly into another
dimension. Circling around the work, phantom images of buildings
and trees will flicker in the mirrors at the base of your feet
and accumulate together with the void-like object, leading to a
mysterious visual and sensory art experience.
