About the artwork
Like its "matrices", this work on metal plate features a luminous molten glass pebble revealing a photograph, accompanied by a surrounding set of mirrors reflecting words using suspended print. The installation promotes meditation, illustrated by a photograph of a person with hands clasped and the phrase "medidate's good 4 hearth". The use of English reflects the artist's identity as a "citizen of the world". Between language and philosophy, this work invites introspective reflection.
Expert opinion
This unique piece perfectly illustrates the artist's work, the fruit of elaborate stagings where sculpture, installation and photography converge towards a common goal.
