About this artwork
This piece explores the fundamental nature of reality through Wave-Particle Duality. In the quantum realm, electrons and photons don’t choose just one state—they exist as both particles and waves simultaneously until observed.
The sharp, vertical black-and-white lines represent the underlying wave patterns of probability. The Cones: These transparent elements act as "particles" emerging from the field. They are sharp, defined points in space.
As… you move around the piece, the lines morph into dynamic interference patterns within the resin cones representing the way a particle’s presence is defined by the "wavefunction" it carries with it.
In quantum mechanics, the Observer Effect suggests that the act of looking actually changes the outcome. By moving your perspective around this artwork, you are "collapsing the wavefunction" of the piece, changing how the light bends and how the shapes appear.

Peta Jacobs is a visual artist with a background in textiles, whose art unfolds through innovative mixed-media and kinetic installations and artworks. Her technique combines abstract geometric forms and post-digital optics, using optical materials from scientific experiments to create works that shift and reconfigure as the viewer moves. She infuses her art with metaphysical investigations into duality, interconnectedness, and uncertainty, inviting viewers into playful yet profound encounters that evoke a sense of wonder at the intrinsic wholeness of reality.
