This wall object is made of Capiz shells. In a single work, over 20,000 individual shells are cut in half & carefully processed. For me, this is a process where I completely isolate myself and work from a flow. It is very Zen, and has something meditative about it. This is also visible and tangible in the final result; a contemporary art object[...]
This wall object is made of Capiz shells. In a single work, over 20,000 individual shells are cut in half & carefully processed. For me, this is a process where I completely isolate myself and work from a flow. It is very Zen, and has something meditative about it. This is also visible and tangible in the final result; a contemporary art object with a strong natural dimension, which in terms of appearance also has similarities with Ethnography.
Because of its cooler appearance, the Capiz shell gives a different energy and a look, which perhaps feels even more contemporary, especially combined with the sleek design. Because of the diffuse transparency of the shells, the changing dynamics of light throughout the day is also an important aspect here.
If you hang the artwork on the wall in your living environment, it will radiate peace and serenity. Light, both during the day from natural light and at night from lamplight, creates wall art with a dynamic appearance. The wall object thus conveys an ever-changing energy, but always from a natural tranquility. Compare it to the peace of rustling trees or rippling water.
