Cosmos
A Lattice Mirage—Desert Womb, Cosmic Horizon, Shifting Axis
I wanted the viewer to experience a polar flux—where the oscillation between cosmic expanse and womb-like enclosure destabilizes spatial certainty. I used a Refracted Hyperbolic Lattice reoriented laterally, its planes and voids composed of interwoven sand and rusted metal, to refract blinding light and fracture the dome into a living mirage. Here, the horizon itself slants; light splits and converges, making depth oscillate unpredictably, suspending the body inside a paradox—timeless, infinite, ancient, and immediate all at once. The state is Cosmos, but the axis slips, and equilibrium becomes vertigo. This experiment collapses containment, origin, and scale into a shimmering present.
My skin becomes horizon—
fractured, luminous, shifting sideways into the impossible.

Explicitly apply the Horizon Shift approach by describing how the entire lattice network and its convex elements are reoriented along a tilted horizon, causing their forms to translate laterally rather than in depth, thus visually challenging vertical depth cues and reinforcing the spatial reorientation. **IMAGE #2 — Abstract Geometric Art Project: A Radical Exploration** **GEOMETRIC PROTAGONIST: Refracted Hyperbolic Lattice** - **Appearance:** The lattice is composed entirely of compressed air, a gossamer network where only the optical boundaries manifest as visible lines of heat and refracted light. Imagine a skeletal hyperbolic dome, its planes weaving a dance of tension and release, appearing as fragile as a cobweb caught mid-breath. - **Behavior:** Each intersection within this lattice seems to expand and contract, mimicking the interplay of inhalation and exhalation in a living being. As light traverses these air-forms, color refracts—split into shards of unexpected hues: vivid emerald transitions into deep magenta, adding vibrant surprise within the cold spectrum. **COMPOSITION: Multi-Body Scene** - **Layout Strategy:** The artwork contains three distinct hyperbolic air structures, positioned asymmetrically, creating a dynamic triangular dialogue. Each structure is oriented differently, their interactions framed by the tension of intersecting lines. The largest form dominates the mid-ground, flanked by two smaller counterparts in the foreground and background, suggesting a cosmic dance or exchange. - **Background:** There is no sky, no ground, only a featureless black void that serves as the stage—a stark contrast highlighting the lattice's delicacy. **LIGHT ARCHITECTURE:** - **Source & Behavior:** A singular point of light, intensely concentrated and warm, emerges from the darkness at the scene's apex. This point is the origin of light, casting angular beams that fan out dramatically to interact with the lattice. Each beam fractures on contact, scatterin
