Wholeness Mirage #24

This work, created as a challenge over 168 hours, explores the illusion of perceiving objects in this world.

When I was a kid, my dad bought me a lab microscope. I looked through it at everything I could find: insects, specks of dust, protozoa in a drop of water, pieces of magazines. I found myself in a new world that had always been there but remained invisible.

This artwork has a fractal structure: large dots do not actually exist; the illusion arises from the superimposition of the same pattern of interconnected smaller dots layered on top of each other. However, these smaller dots are also illusory: a mere dance of colors of the pixels of a monitor or pigments on a canvas. These are just the first steps of immersing yourself in the infinite detail of reality.
