About this artwork
This piece invites the viewer to be the "observer" in a quantum experiment. Depending on your viewpoint, the artwork shifts from a cold, mathematical grid to a vibrant, organic explosion of colour. It also serves as a visual metaphor for one of the most mind-bending concepts in physics: wave-particle duality through an interplay of geometry and optics.
Light refuses to be just one thing, behaving as both a continuous wave and discrete particles… (photons). This piece captures that paradox.
The background of rigid, vertical black and white lines represents wave-like interference patterns and frequencies; the transparent cones protruding from the surface are the photons. Each cone acts as a localised point of focus, pulling the background into a singular, tangible entity.
Each catches the static lines and dynamically warps them into concentric, iridescent circles as you move around the piece, illustrating the way observation itself can change the state of a quantum system.

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.
