Frame Of Reference

Frame of Reference is a piece that creates a direct connection to a (space) - time relativity concept. Time does not progress at the same rate for everyone, everywhere, and the rate at which time passes depends on your “frame of reference”, as it is for the position of the visitor engaging with the piece.
The artwork consists of a double-sided mirrored rectangular surface with a visual composition projected in front of the mirror’s edge. This configuration recreates the illusion of a completed symmetrical image on the other side of the mirror.
The triptych version of the piece, offers a different visual representation of time, based on the three principles of geometric transformation: scale, translation, and rotation recreating three different visual compositions that constantly evolve.
