Painted plexiglass and wood circles in luminous tones of pale mauve, pearl, soft indigo, and slate scatter across a layered surface. Subtle iridescence and translucency create a shimmering effect that changes with the light, revealing new depths and connections as the viewer moves. Suspended just above a painted wood and veneer-faced foam panel, the forms cast delicate, shifting shadows, evoking the threshold where perception and mystery meet.
