The Ocular Lens, 2023, Sculpture/ceramics
The Ocular Lens is a fusion of ceramics and paper machè, crafted to unveil the intricate beauty of sand at a microscopic level. This sculpture invites viewers to explore the hidden landscapes of granular intricacy. The marriage of delicate ceramics and recycled materials converge to recreate the textures and patterns revealed by the scrutinising gaze of a microscope. Through this tactile and visual experience, “The Ocular Lens” seeks to bridge the gap between the seen and unseen, inviting contemplation on the subtle marvels embedded within the seemingly ordinary grains of sand.
