This artwork features a mesmerizing sphere composed of intricately arranged shards of colored glass against a stark black background. Vivid greens, deep reds, and bright yellows form an intricate mosaic, each fragment reflecting light in a captivating display of brilliance. The interplay of broken yet vibrant pieces creates a visual narrative of chaos inevitably transforming into beauty. The spherical shape suggests completeness, contrasting with the jagged nature of the material. This bold use of texture and color highlights the artist's skill in transforming discarded fragments into a cohesive, eye-catching composition. The piece invites contemplation on themes of transformation and the unexpected harmony that can arise from disorder. It stands as a compelling testament to the enduring allure of recycled materials, challenging viewers to appreciate the hidden beauty within the fractured and the overlooked.
In my series called “Broken Planet," I am showing one Broken Planet with 13 other “planets” based on the most common human feelings or behavior such as happiness, sadness, anger, anticipation, fear, loneliness, jealousy, disgust, trust, greed, joy, racism, shame. In these images, I am working with various shreds of colored glass and other detritus which I picked up on the streets near my home in Atlanta, during the period of COVID-19 quarantine and the political protests. I assemble these pieces in the studio and rephotograph them to symbolize the current crisis of political and environmental issues. At this moment, the most pressing questions of our time are about ourselves and the future of our culture and our planet. In a sense, I am taking the pieces and putting them back together to re-construct a fragmented world. “The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” -Albert Einstein
This artwork presents a striking assemblage of shattered glass pieces, intricately fused into a spherical form. The sphere is a vivid mosaic of colors—green, red, yellow, and silver—creating a dynamic interplay of light and reflection. Each shard, meticulously placed, contributes to a chaotic yet harmonious whole, evoking a sense of complexity and fragility. The jagged edges and varied translucence add depth, allowing light to refract and shimmer across the surface. The black background accentuates the vibrancy of the colors, making the sphere appear as if it is floating in space. This work captures the essence of transformation, turning discarded fragments into a cohesive and mesmerizing entity, and challenges the viewer to find beauty within chaos.
