About this artwork
Imagine a surface that fragments like a living mineral skin. With each break, a fractal is born, a pattern that repeats infinitely and reveals the secret geometry of the world. Forms stretch, twist, become objects of revolution—raw glass, perfect volumes, sensual curves tinted throughout.
These fragments seem torn from other worlds: luminous cavities, pockets of geological treasure buried for millennia. Inside, a subtle lighting allows the matter… to breathe, as if each piece had swallowed a star. The light passes through, diffuses, refracts, revealing the flaws and the secrets.
You find yourself facing a space that is no longer just a backdrop: it's a doorway. A passage. A universe to explore.
