10^x m, Where are you? 006
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Taking the mathematical notation of "powers of ten", used to express astronomical scales such as those of the earth and galaxies, as a starting point, this piece expresses within glass a sweeping cosmic space — from Earth as seen at 10^8 meters (100,000 kilometers) away, through the solar system, the galaxy, galaxy clusters, and out to the universe stretching to 10^30 meters (roughly 10 billion years) away. A work giving form to the image of surveying and recognizing one's own position within the natural world.
Selling Points
・Peering into the glass reveals a depth that seems to draw you in, letting you enjoy the clear, mysterious quality of the material.
· A work whose every detail is meticulously crafted, never tiring to look at.
・By holding the vast universe in the palm of my hand and looking down upon it, I wanted to gaze at "myself" as one part of that universe.
The original display stand has an iron base finished in baked metallic black paint, silk-printed with each respective distance.
