Floating Pattern

About this work

Floating Pattern presents a powerful optical illusion in which a sphere seems to float centrally in a square space. The whole composition is filled with repeating oval patterns in vivid colours such as yellow, red, black, purple and green. These patterns cover both the sphere and the surrounding walls, so that the distinction between object and background almost disappears. The square framing gives the impression of depth, as though the viewer were looking into a tunnel or niche in which the sphere has been placed.
