Leaning into the Unknown; Geometries of Light

An immersive installation grounded in research from Leonardo da Vinci’s sketchbooks and optical studies. Drawing directly from his notebooks, the work reimagines and materialises Leonardo’s explorations of light, geometry, and perception, alongside his experimentation with perpetual motion.

Viewers are invited to encounter the geometry of light itself, made visible as it is projected through hand-blown glass, revealing underlying patterns that are constantly enveloped by the surface of things.

These dynamic environments open a dialogue with the unknown — not to explain it, but to honour it. Themes of the deep unconscious, cosmic vastness, and the liminal flow through the installation, echoing Leonardo’s relentless curiosity.

In an age of uncertainty, the work positions itself within a lineage of inquiry that embraces not-knowing as a vital space of discovery. Light, materiality, and time converge — alchemically — in this multi-media experience. Naturally occurring geometries are beautifully captured in etched glass and limited-edition prints, which explore layers of time, capturing light in its transience, yet somehow also in its eternity. They are meditations on presence, on emergence, and on the luminous space between what has been and what is becoming.
