Molecules are made up of atoms; a recent discovery proves these fundamental building blocks to be ninety-nine percent empty. While eluding the human eye, the atom reveals in its nature perceptual shifts that occur when scientifically deconstructing the fabric of the universe. Prism-like bubbles and spheres have unique geometries that offer tangible allegories for optically impossible and complex spaces.

Elemental bubbles are exposed by the transient nature of light to describe the entwined inner web of form and formlessness that is apparent in their make-up. At the cellular level the shape of the forms that describe our biological building blocks, inextricably link us via magnification to the macrocosmic scale. This shift in perception narrows our view but also widens our understanding of transient nature of the world. Converge, 2008 explores the inherent urge for these building blocks to come together or rather ‘converge’; to become something greater.
