Light determines all that we see. Every ray that enters the eye is filtered and shaped by the opening and closing of the iris. Inspired by this subtle mechanism, the artist transforms the act of perception into a feather-light mechanical structure—one that spins softly, mirroring the fleeting moment of seeing, while reflecting the distance between perception and reality.

Like a lens and a summoning feather at once, the installation points toward unnamed islands and unmapped territories. It becomes both an organ of observation and a portal into its own copied phantasm—an uncanny mirror of the real. As viewers linger, they drift between perception and projection, entering a realm where vision, replication, and illusion entwine.
