Venus, 2023

THE ARTWORK

Venus is an installation that explores the intersection of sensuality and geometry through an intricate network of threads. As the spectator moves around the piece, the threads expand and contract, evoking a fluid appearance that blends colors, shifts densities, and filters light to produce a multi-layered effect. The result is an ethereal composition that offers a contemplative yet dynamic experience.
