A Satire Spun Out Of Hand

Gazing Space

Description

Sometimes, it's hard to stop listening to the voices. Every hears them.
Some are just good at ignoring them. Others are not.
They are stuck in a room with them. Reflecting back emptiness, transforming it into a fearfull reality. A difficult period in his life led to the works involving the "voices in my head". These voices create a dangerous cacaphony that can distort the outlook on reality. The first iteration of this concept were these digitally rendered photos of rooms only consisting of gazing balls. Although nothing is present in these rooms, the gazing balls warp the space and transform the emptiness into a non-existing reality.
