Clarity
Installation
Inspired by a kaleidoscope, this piece allows the viewer to sit inside of the geometric cavity and view the piece making their way from the bottom where there is thick foggy material up to the increasingly thinner transparent material and then finally to the open top where the light is shining down on them. This experience forces a moment of clarity after a long and draining experience when one finally sees the unmistakable truth.
Step On Me
Installation
