Mitosis
Selected for the 2025 London Art Biennale, Spain. Glass Sculpture, 2024. 26x14x14cm.
Mitosis is a sculptural exploration of division and unity, crafted from eco-optical glass using kiln casting techniques and optical-precision polishing. Standing 26 cm tall and weighing 13 kg, this one-of-a-kind piece examines the interplay between symmetry and dynamic movement. The intricate internal formations were created via experimental cold-working processes before the melting stage. Through optical illusions and layered transparency, Mitosis invites viewers to contemplate the microcosmic forces that govern growth, change, and interconnectedness.
