βI (London, 2023)
Clay, Glaze
H70xW43xD22cm
Beta I embodies the subtle interplay between solidity and fluidity, with its smooth white form twisting in soft, organic curves. Cloaked in layered white glazes, the surface appears serene and still, yet the winding shapes suggest an inner energy held in quiet restraint. In the right light, Beta I holds the potential to cast a shadow that creates a secondary form on the wall—a fleeting echo that emerges only when illuminated, embodying the series' exploration of what lies just beyond perception.
Part of the Beta series, which explores the quieter, more nuanced states of perception inspired by beta brain waves, each piece invites viewers into a contemplative space where meaning unfolds with subtlety. Where Alpha is direct, Beta exists in a state of potential, awaiting light and perspective to reveal its hidden depths.
In Beta I, presence and absence coexist, reflecting the subtle tension within beta brain waves, where active thought resides beneath a calm surface. The piece invites viewers to engage in a slow, meditative observation, experiencing how light and perspective transform its meaning, much like the ever-shifting nature of perception itself.
